Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Mesoamerican culture, as a whole, is often poorly understood among the general populace. Part of it is the fact that the names of the gods are long and hard to pronounce[1]. Part of it is that it's a very complex and, to European sensibilities, insane belief system. Indeed, the whole notion that deities are both good and bad and that all that is created is created as a duality is a very important aspect of pre-Colombian ideology, and something the conquistadors had a hard time wrapping their heads around (as do, to this day, several movie directors. Most importantly, however, it's the sacrifices. Their rich culture and mythological tradition is usually boiled down to "They'd sacrifice people." And, yes, they did practice human sacrifice to a scale and creativity previously unseen by humanity. But this wasn't the only defining feature of the folklore, and, indeed, there was a damn good reason for it. |
