I just watched a “scientific” program where 2 “scientists” were showing one of the Mayan’s sites and they’ve been wondering why the site was hardly accessible, on the top of the hill with a gate.
Once you learn about the human sacrifice you no longer ask these questions.
I even wonder whether the collapse of these cultures was caused be some uprising of the normal people who no longer wanted to be sheep and victims of those sacrifices and once they’ve found out the truth - they’ve killed their “leaders”, moving out of these evil cities.
The sculptures in the tv documentary were showing gate keepers with sculls and a human carrying a baby bottom up, being held with their legs up and head down.
Some sculptures made me to recall the frazledrip, especially this face with its skin removed, the one we saw in DeGeneres home and other “modern art”.
I have found some similar photos to what I saw in the tv so you can compare too. I didn’t watch the frazzledrip but the face is something you never forget even from a simple brief of the HRC video.
WARNING: Some pictures of the Mayan sites are scary, even if they’re just sculptures and archeological findings.

The Spanish were greedy as heck, but they considered it their Christian duty to wipe out the Aztec. They had a wall of skulls with over 100k on it.
I highly recommend reading some books on the topic.
