Blood Rites & Wrongs: MesoAmerican Sacrifice

  • Resumen

  • The gods give us life. And we must give them life in return.

    Specifically in the form of blood, tears, and hearts carved from willing donors.

    Ah, the circle of life.

    Nearly every ancient culture has their local version of the blood sacrifice to their gods. But the Aztecs created a ritual of passion, spectacle, and gore that goes unmatched.

    Today, as we cut to the heart of MesoAmerican Blood Sacrifice, Jolts and Zing learn:

    • How the Aztecs mastered the art of removing a heart - while it still beat.
    • What Spanish invaders thought about the local blood sacrifices (and the style of blood sacrifice European Catholics preferred).
    • What noble martyrs tasted like...to the gods who drank their blood.

    Created, researched and performed by Daniel Berger-Jones and John J King.

    Produced and edited by Kenneth Fuentes.
