We read about various stories like Hansel and Gretel about witches that wanted to eat children. Were such stories like this pure fiction or was there a basis of truth of those?
If there was an andrenochrome appetite 150 years ago among the elites, like there is today, slavery would have been the simplest source to set up a steady supply of blood to these vampires. Just grab say you've sold a dozen slaves or their children to an unknown buyer from another state. Who was really keeping track?
It seems much of the opposition to ending slavery came from powerful individuals in Europe who shouldn't have had any any horse in that race.
Just putting that out there.
It's a good topic. I enjoy the subject. I'll see if I can put something together and make a new post of it, you want me to tag you when it's done? I don't think the conquistadors were all good, the majority element that was definitely there for good, 100% they wanted to bring Christ to the new world. Among the conquistadors were crusader knights, as well as mercenaries, old soldiers, merchants, sailors, aristocrats. There was a heavy interest in gold and "fountain of youth" lore though.
Which considering what we know now about adrenochrome, and the Aztec's human sacrifice culture, I think reexamining the fountain of youth lore especially could be interesting.
Okay sounds good. Definitely tag me. Please make sure its Q related. Surprisingly, Q never mentiones AC, but I am sure you can connect this to the history of crimes against children.
If not, you can always post this in GC.
