The Mayas drew their blood for their Lords


Male Exclusive Blood Sacrifice in Maya Religion
DENNIS TEDLOCK, Translator – POPOL VUH, The Definitive Edition Of The Mayan Book Of The Dawn Of Life And The Glories Of The Gods And Kings – A TOUCHSTONE BOOK – 1965-1996



Today we are scratching the barrel of what has survived and we try to understand a civilization that was as for mathematics and cosmology several thousand years ahead of Europe in the 15th century.  I must also say that at times we have been impregnated with implicit bias against them with the sole emphasis on human sacrifice, as if we did not burn our witches and submit heretics to all kinds of tortures and death penalties, not "sacrifice" since it is "justice."
