He called me a kid you guyshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sacrifice_in_Maya_culture Human sacrifice is depicted in Late Classic artwork and sometimes involved torture; sacrifice was generally via decapitation. At times the sacrificial victim was dressed as a deer. The intended sacrifice may have been publicly displayed and paraded before the act of sacrifice itself. Images of human sacrifice were often sculpted into the steps of Maya architecture and such stairways may have been the site of periodic sacrifice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_trophy_taking_in_Mesoamerica Most of the ancient civilizations of Mesoamerica such as the Olmec, Maya, Mixtec, Zapotec and Aztec cultures practiced some kind of taking of human trophies during warfare. Captives taken during war would often be taken to their captors' city-states where they would be ritually tortured and sacrificed. These practices are documented by a rich material of iconographic and archaeological evidence from across Mesoamerica. --- "Cloud will strike the final blow against Sephiroth, and whisper into his ear: pwned." - E_S_M_Z ...
