In most instances that we've seen, and from Spanish record indicates that likely inside caves it would have been a bit more voluntary.
But in some cases we do find where people are...
interpreted as being captives of war and we know that often when the Maya captured high-ranking officials from different cities they would be used as human offerings as well so it's not just relegated to your own community but something that is very very precious to you
Yeah, in general, we see it that Maya would have a specific place for human offerings or human sacrifices.
So it would bring people in.
There are spaces like this where likely they're using to do human sacrifices.
The Spanish, when they came to the New World, they spoke about some of these sacrifices at Chichen Itza.
and it shows that we're sacrificing people by different methods.
The most common that we see is the removal of the heart, where they cut below the rib cage and then pull the heart from the person, presumably while they're still alive.
You can see some bigger pieces of shards down here.
And over here.
Yeah.
Yep, exactly.
It's a human mandible right there.
May have been washed down for a little bit further back in here because just the mandible normally you'll find the rest of the head still close by.
That there right there looks like teeth.
Just embedded in the rock itself.
Let's go around here see if we see any more of the remains.
It might be covered in mud itself.
Yes, we are seeing a lot more human sacrifice during that time, as well as a lot more material inside caves.
