learned a lot about the civilizations of the Maya and the Inca but not much about the Maya. Chapter 13 of the assigned readings talks about the Aztec and how they came to power and their collapse. One paragraph in the chapter‚ although morbid and disturbing‚ caught my attention. “The victim was stretched out over the sacrificial stone. In seconds‚ a priest with an obsidian knife broke open his chest and ripped out his still beating heart‚ dashing it against the sacrificial stone.” These sentences refer
