I forget what movie it was but there was that movie about the Aztecs years ago where they cut that guys heart out on the top of the temple as they were lopping heads off and letting them roll down the stairs. very disturbing

I think you are referring to "Apocalytpo." Amazing how such a civilization that could build cities, pyramids and other structures that last millennia while developing a written language and mathematical concepts could be so cruel and unconscious of the value of life by committing such acts.
Yet, as I told another steemian, human sacrifice can even be found in the Bible. Although God ultimately told Abe not to go through with it, this almost implies that at one point humans did perform this act, and God might not have "said" anything about it until Abe and Isaac. This to me overall suggests that human sacrifice was on the table (sorry for the pun) thousands of years before the Aztecs and Mayan perfected the act with still beating hearts of their victims in their hands.
