Watched Apocalypto recently, even if the leftist university retards claim that it’s way overblown in the movie and that it’s more like a scene from Aztec rituals, the fact that they actually did that shit proves how morally degenerate their society had become. Keep in mind that many of the societies in modern day Mexico down to Central America were witnessing a massive collapse and disintegration of their way of life. Something that was oddly scene multiple times throughout the pre-contact americas. For example when the Europeans asked who had built Tenochtitlan, the Aztecs told them they didn’t even know. For another example the Mayans would sometimes raze conquer a city state, and just leave, not ever returning to the ruins. Which is why a few of the ruins in Mexico exist today. Shit like the Olmecs and Mississippian civilization are so mysterious because they just collapsed and never returned. Which is something you don’t really see north of modern day Yemen (outside of Africa of course). It’s one of my greatest questions as to why that can happen to a to a civilization when all other places on earth simply rebounded and a new empire grew up to takeover, and it’s not like agricultural capabilities between the modern day France and Mississippi are very different

Its strange because they were supposedly 90% wiped out by disease but historical accounts mention earthquakes, storms and other seemingly mythical occurrences .

Because he’s spouting bullshit and your agreeing with him because of an ingrained bias against what you see as evil colonialism. The archaeological evidence of human sacrifice is well founded, and it wouldn’t make any sense for the descendants of the Aztecs and Mayans also agree with that “evil Spanish “ view point when many of themselves are left wing
 
That only applies to them at the exact point of European contact. It makes zero sense for every civilization that collapsed pre contact to be from Europeans or from diseases when it’s a fact that a significant portion of humans have a genetic resistance to most diseases past a certain death count. And that a stronger more youthful group would rise and take over. Even in the Bronze Age collapse things bloomed again and several empires survived, although quite damaged

The Mayans had a very sophisticated system of control. The 'lower caste' peasant lives were wholly dictated to by the priest caste through their sophisticated calender. Again, we see an authoritarian ruling class manipulating those 'lower' in the hierarchy by a mixture of science, superstition and (quite possibly) 'magick'.
The conquistadors came and one control matrix was simply swapped for another. Albeit much less sophisticated.
You want to talk about Ix Tab? Itzamna? Ah Pouk? Have at it
