Aztecs Sacrificed Children

There has long been a controversy over Aztec human sacrifice allegations. Many blame Christians for fabricating the stories to somehow justify their own murderous ways. It is said that the Aztecs conducted human sacrifices with hapless victims captured in war. It seems that they would cut out a beating heart from the chest of the victim. Now, a recent archeological discovery indicates that the Aztecs practiced child sacrifice.

The new find must be quite vexing to the neo-Aztec venerators intent on buttressing their claim for taking much of California back from the U. S. I guess the Aztecs were not so morally superior after all. It must have been that one barbarous people, the Spaniards, simply conquered another barbarous people, the Aztecs.
