EXAMPLES OF SACRIFICES Claimed through many paintings, sculptures, and through their writing, it has been learned that a woman in the Mayan culture would have to cut a hole in her own tongue after her first was born and take a barbed rope and pull it through it. The blood would collect in a bowl under her and then it would be burnt along with spices to the gods. Men would also have to do this, although the hole was cut in a different region, namedly the private part and drag the barbed rope through it. They did not do as many human death sacrifices as the Aztecs did, but there was still proof of some sacrificing of captured prisoners. SEE ALSO |
