huitzilopochtli

 


  i would love to be taken to the top of an aztec pyramid and have my heart ripped out to be sacrificed to be huitzilopochtli!




 human hearts were ripped out of victim's chest and offered up to the sun and then thrown into the sacrificial fire in order to keep the sun alive and moving along its journey





 in return the sun god would continue to sacrifice its life and energy so that man could live
