They were not killed humanely, if there is such a thing; their hearts were carved out of their chests, and then they were decapitated. If you’ve seen the Mel Gibson film Apocalypto, you’ve seen an accurate depiction of this form of sacrifice.



George Carlin referred to this event as “theater.” By the time the farce was over, the spectators walked in blood up to their ankles. It ran like a thin red waterfall down the Pyramid’s steps and is said in the Aztecan literature to have reached all sides of the plaza’s stone pavement by the fourth day. The corpses, along with their hearts and heads, were sowed into the fields of a 6-mile radius as fertilizer for crops.

A wide variety of explanations and interpretations of the Aztec practice of human sacrifice have been proposed by modern scholars.

Religious theories have been proposed explaining the practice as the product of religious beliefs about the need to sustain the universe through the spilling of human blood.

Political theories have been proposed explaining human sacrifice as a political tool for intimidating and controlling subordinate or potentially hostile peoples.

Socio-psychological theories link the practice of human sacrifice to unconscious factors, such as response to traumatic events.

Ecological theories human sacrifice as a response to population pressures.

Dietary theories link the practice of human sacrifice to the subsequent cannibalization of the victims and the use of their flesh as a source of protein. --Wiki
