Yeah. Remember those stories about how Native American priests would sacrifice a virgin to appease the volcano?

So somebody found this tunnel on one of those volcanos close to the top full of female skeletons.

Definitely weren’t any “priests” or their business partners just screwing and eventually murdering the choicest females consequence free, surely, and having the population pay for them to do it and for their temples they used for it.. Surely nobody would conspire like that!

Instead we say, “man, those people sure were stupid to think that pushing a person into a volcano would ‘appease the gods’.” No, WE are stupid for not seeing through these wicked peoples’ cover stories, that they’re still laughing at us every time they tell us about it and we still naively don’t get the joke.

This probably isn’t even that extreme of a case. Every now and then, I’ll bump into a story that definitely gives me the jeebies.
