I find that very hard to believe.

On the flip side, in terms of sacrifice, including child sacrifice, yeah, there are examples of it, and there are examples that are really bad.

There's one underneath the Templo Mayor in Mexico City, Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital.

Same place.

Yeah, there were children.

I believe they were drowned.

They were sort of offerings to Tlaloc and they were drowned.

You know, the way the Aztecs believed in things, the afterlife was where you, like how you died, that's where you went.

That was the afterlife you went to.

So if you drowned, you went to the watery afterlife, right?

You went to the sort of, it was ruled by a character named Tlaloc, right?

It was a kind of a rain, agricultural kind of deity, right?

And the afterlife that you would go to in that case, they have murals of it.

It doesn't look that bad.

It looks like people are cavorting around playing games and stuff, right?

In terms of child sacrifice, so it does exist.

And human sacrifice more generally for the Aztecs, to use a spinal tap reference, the Aztecs always take everything to 11, everything.

It doesn't matter whatever it is, it's always extreme.

You know, it's actually one of the reasons why the Aztecs collapsed and why the Spanish were so successful.

It's that people hated the Aztecs.
