Science Mag Writer: Industrial-Scale Human Sacrifice By Mexicas Wasn't 'Horrific' or 'Evil'

"It's hard for me to imagine that people *wanted* to be sacrificed, but that's my own biases and cultural conditioning talking."

Science Magazine's latest cover story revealed how archaeologists found a "literal tower of skulls beneath Mexico City."

The Mexica sacrificed thousands of people in the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan—and now archaeologists have found a literal tower of their skulls beneath Mexico City. I'm proud to share my @sciencemagazine cover story on this amazing discovery! https://t.co/GBZW1TXflv

Many people on Twitter responded by saying this proves Spanish Conquistador Hernan Cortes was right:

So we agree that Cortes was a hero?

He defeated the Aztecs with only a few hundred men.

I’d say this justifies how the Spanish acted. Any civilized people with better weapons would put a stop to that shit immediately.

Thank God for the conquistadors

The Aztec Empire was the most savage & cruel theocratic tyranny in recorded human history. It raised human sacrifice, slavery, & cannibalism to a superstitious misanthropic duty in terror of savage gods. Perhaps the Conquistadors were a blessing after all?

Others said the Mexica were worse than the Nazis:

It was worse than The Third Reich

Jeeze and I thought the Nazis were bad

Science Magazine writer Lizzie Wade evidently got triggered by the responses to her article and went on a tweetstorm trying to explain why industrial-scale human sacrifice as practiced by the Mexica wasn't "horrific" or "evil."

Here's some of the responses:

Anything to get published, huh.

You should take on slavery in America next!

Incidentally, at least 33 skulls were found in January in the drug cartel dominated territory of Nayarit in western Mexico.

As this is their culture, don't you dare say it's "evil"!
