And so realistically speaking, in a tropical environment, if you do that and you don't have access to modern medicine, you're probably getting infected.

Like you're probably, you know, and you're the ruler too.

So it's like, seems like a bad idea.

And so one of the things that I found, the first time I found one of these blood letter things, in the bundle with the actual blood letter were a whole bunch of what looked like really clean surgical pieces of obsidian.

Like little pieces of obsidian that were nice and clean, you know, that you could use to make a clean incision and you wouldn't have to worry about like anything like this.

Like the obsidian is actually sharper than surgical steel.

It's brittle, which is why you probably don't use it much in surgery.

I've heard of it.

Um, but it would make a nice clean incision.

And so what we think is happening both on the male end and possibly on this image.

Um, so if you scroll down to the, to the woman, what's possibly happening to this, to this person is, remember I said, you go up to the top of a pyramid and you perform these rituals and you like come out and you're like, what may be happening is they may be cutting themselves, getting the blood on the, in private, basically getting all this blood out and then coming out like into the window and being like, look what I got.

Like, ah,

And of course, if you actually think that that's what they did, they'd have the same reaction you did, which is like your jaw drops, like what are they doing, right?

So realistically speaking, she may not actually be drawing a rope through her tongue.

She may be telling people that's what she's doing.

They may not be telling the truth.

You have to keep in mind these are political monuments.

These are political statements, right?

Yeah.

So anyway, so she's got all the stuff going on, right?
