Ok so i'm reading a book about the vision of guadelupe and since the book is about a christian event, its really taking a big crap all over aztec religion
First chapter focuses on how "bad" the religion was by focusing on the human sacrifice and cannabalism
I sorta think that the book has really skewed facts to make aztec relgion look evil so what is the truth?
It claims that in one year the aztecs sacrificed over 200,000 people. I sorta think this is high
is also insisted that they were cannabals but other sources I see dispute this saying it's not clear
last it says that they went to war just to get more people to sacrifice. I don't think that was the only reason
another thing is the myth about Quetzalcoatl. According to the book Montizuma believed in a leagend involving white bearded men and thought the spanish were the prophacy comming true. I think this story is an outright lie made up by the spanish, but I have no proof. The winners write history.
What really happened? Is the book right, or is this just a religious radical trying to make pagans look evil?
