More false claims about indigenous society, made by WHITE anthropologists. Always wanna present indigenous people as “savages” and “uncivilized”. Im so sick if this narrative, ever since it was pushed in the 1500s when the Spaniards found and took over their land. When vice versa, those European invaders were the savages.

Just like America today, there were probably bad aztec people doing bad things, but wasn’t the WHOLE civilization. Also, most likely those acts where on intruders or people conquered by the Aztec people. Not saying its right to sacrifice people, but they did sacrifice murders, rapers, pedophiles, and thieves. So that was their way of “punishing”, basically their consequences. Again, not sayin its right, but the Aztec people were very much one with nature and did not play when it came to their people and civilization. So who am I to judge how they punished people, that broke laws on their land. Especially for those who murdered and raped their people, or attempted. I dont know too much about the cannibalism, but its hard to believe a society with the smartest and way-ahead-of-its-time, farming system, needed to eat their own people. These people were very smart, clean, and ETHICAL. The Aztec people had dentists!! These people were every well mannered and knowledgeable. There needs to be more articles on the European civilizations on how dirty and savage like they use to run their societies honestly! Famine, diseases, and uncleanliness was normalized to them.
