  • Aztec Cannibalism of Spanish & Allies in 1519

    Apparently the Spanish invasion & conquest of the Aztecs wasn't a completely one-sided ordeal.

    "Only a year after Hernan Cortes landed in Mexico, hundreds of people in a Spanish-led convey were captured, sacrificed and apparently eaten."

      Great link Olden, i watched a documentary a while back that detailed the archaelogical site were all those "caucasian" bones were found ritually sacrifised. Cortez was escorting the large group back to mexico city when runners brought word back that they were losing control of the city. He opted to abandon the convoy and race back to the city. The large convoy was then ambushed after being left defenseless. Hard to contemplate the level of brutality duiring that time... Very interesting story and some amazing archaeology.

          Lemme see.. they ate the men, women, children & horses, then threw away the pork: don't quite seem kosher.
