The crowd rushes the woman, drags her into the nearby and once-sacred Incalithlon pyramid and tears her still-beating heart from her now bare chest with a dagger, tossing it into the Unfed Light’s quavering spade as her body is torn limb from limb, her flesh divided among the throng of people and consumed, her blood mixed with liquor and drunk by mad priests during these penultimate dark chapters of the Atlantean saga; a fate many captives of the Aztecs would be familiar with at the top of their pyramidal temples, whose living sacrifice through the tearing out of their still-beating hearts with an obsidian knife was said to appease the god Huitzilopochtli lest he “stop time.”

Okay, fortunately we are living in other times yeah fortunately we are, but those times are relatively recent when when the church was capable of burning people at the stake, in extremely painful and awful ways I find a great deal of hypocrisy in the church in this matter I draw your attention particularly to the Spanish conquest of Mexico between 1519 and 1521 those Spaniards who were brutal murderers of the worst kind claimed to be horrified when they witnessed human sacrifice of the Aztecs the Aztecs would carry out acts of human sacrifice but not a single one of them was able to contemplate the possibility that burning a fellow human being at the stake is an act of human sacrifice they are sacrificing that entity to what they believe is God it's no different they were in no position to—but also Yahweh asked for human sacrifice of child tell me more, I didn't know that, please talk to me some more about that in the book of Jeremiah it says that he had the necessity to request these human sacrifices because the people wanted to obey his orders and of course there's the case of Isaac, who Yahweh instructs to kill his—is it Isaac?

The Toltecs, Nahuatlacas, Aztecs, and other ancient civilizations of South America all share an origin story that points to a land called “Aztlan” or “Atlan.”
The Aztecs believed in the Quinametzin, a race of giants who lived during the previous age of the Sun.
According to Aztec mythology, these giants built the ancient cities of Teotihuacan and Cholula.
Examples include the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl and the Incan deity Viracocha, both described with light skin and other European-like features.
Aztec Mythology: Describes a subterranean origin in "The Place of Seven Caves."
"One of the tables of my Trojan excavation gives also a medical treatise of the Egyptian priests--for there was communication between Crete and Egypt for many centuries--for the removal of cataract from the eye and ulcer from the intestines by means of surgery. I have read almost a similar formula in a Spanish manuscript in Berlin whose writer took it from an Aztec priest in Mexico.
"In coming to my conclusion I must say that neither the Egyptians nor the Mayan race that made the civilization of Central America before the Aztecs were great navigators.
The religions of Egypt, Peru and that of the Mayans, the vanished race that built the buried cities of Central America, and upon the wrecks of whose civilization the Aztecs built their empire, were the original religion of Atlantis.
There is a plate showing an Aztec priestess in Delafield's "Antiquities of America," p.

The term "Aztec" is one of the most well-known designations in pre-Columbian America.
However, it is often misused, leading to misunderstandings about the identity of the Aztecs.
The name "Aztec" originates from the Nahuatl word aztecah, which translates to "People of Aztlan," referencing the ancestral homeland of this group.
Despite extensive scholarly efforts, the exact meaning of "Aztec" remains unresolved.
The term "Aztec" was not used by the people themselves, who identified as Mexica.
Historically, the names "Mexica" and "Aztec" applied to the same ethnic group at different periods.
The Codices Boturini and Aubin recount how the Mexica initially called themselves Aztecs in homage to Aztlan but adopted the name Mexica upon settling in the Valley of Mexico under the guidance of the deity Huitzilopochtli.
The Prussian scholar Alexander von Humboldt popularized the term "Aztec" in the early 19th century to honor their ancestral origins.
Referring to all Nahuatl speakers as "Aztecs" is incorrect.
Nahuatl speakers identified themselves as Nahuas, meaning "those who speak clearly." While all Aztecs were Nahuas, not all Nahuas were Aztecs.
Many Nahua groups were conquered by the Aztecs, such as the Chalcas, while others, like the Acolhuas, became allies.
Some, including the Tlaxcaltecs, resisted Aztec dominance and retained their independence.
Nahuatl-speaking peoples also existed outside Aztec influence, such as the Pipiles in El Salvador and the Nicaraos in Nicaragua.
The so-called "Aztec Empire" was not a centralized state but a confederation known as the Triple Alliance (Excan Tlahtoloyan), comprising Tenochtitlan, Tlacopan, and Texcoco.
Many achievements attributed to the Aztecs are the works of other Mesoamerican peoples, such as the Mixtec, Zapotec, Otomí, and others.
Simplifying Mesoamerican history by labeling everything as "Aztec" erases the contributions of these cultures.
The misuse of "Aztec" to mean "Mexican" stems from historical conflations of "Mexihco" and "Mexica." During colonial times, "Mexicano" referred to inhabitants of the island of Mexihco.
This conflation was further complicated by 19th-century nationalist rhetoric, which portrayed the Aztecs as the founders of the modern Mexican nation, despite the extinction of the Mexica as a distinct group during colonial times due to epidemics, wars, and assimilation.
"Aztec" has been widely misapplied to refer to various Mesoamerican cultures and modern Mexicans.

Archaeological findings in the southwestern United States suggest migration patterns similar to those described in Aztec legends.

Spanish chroniclers, including José de Acosta, observed similarities between the Aztec migration and the biblical Exodus.
The Aztecs followed divine instructions for migration and governance, paralleling the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land.
The name "Meci" (or "Meshi") is linked to both the Aztecs and biblical figures, suggesting cultural and mythological intersections.
José de Acosta's writings from the late 16th century provide detailed accounts of the Aztec migration, interpreting it through the lens of his Jesuit beliefs.
Other historians, such as Bernardino de Sahagún, document the Aztecs' practices and their leader, often blending indigenous and European perspectives.
Sites like the Davis Ranch site in Arizona and other Puebloan ruins reflect migratory patterns consistent with Aztec stories.
Puebloan migrations from the Four Corners region mirror the Aztec narrative, suggesting cultural parallels or shared histories.
Huitzilopochtli is portrayed as a deity and a historical figure leading the Aztecs.

The Toltecs, Nahuatlacas, Aztecs, and other ancient civilizations of South America all share an origin story that points to a land called "Aztlan" or "Atlan."
