re: Archaeologists find ancient altar deep in Guatemala jungles used for mass child sacrifices

Probably tied to times of drought and famine. In places with large populations and especially early human civilization, feeding that many people could have been a problem. Maybe it served multiple purposes, 1) sacrifice to the Gods by giving a child 2) fewer mouths to feed esp those who can’t feed themselves.
I agree obviously that blood sacrifice in exchange for wealth seems to be a recurring theme across cultures.
I mean even early Christians and Jews practiced ritual sacrifices that later became representative rather than real over time (body and blood represented by bread and wine, given up for God at communion).
I’m more focused on coincidences that exceed one point of overlap occurring over and over again. In this case I mean child sacrifices, pyramid holy structures and repeating art themes emerging in isolated cultures. Either those things are somehow hardwired into our unconscious psyche, there was more ancient interaction between cultures than we thought leading to shared beliefs or something else happened that we aren’t aware of or being told about.

I get it. After several toddler meltdowns I’m sure plenty of Mayan parents were willing to sacrifice their kids.
A heck of a deterrent for kids though, “K’ychtua you better behave or else you go to the altar!”

Academic archeologists are a cult. For many years the Mayans were a peaceful people. Then they unearth a burial temple with paintings of warriors with severed heads, lol.
Then, the Mayans we 100s of years after the people of Teotihuacan. Then oops they unearth green obsidian in Tikal and the only place in the Western hemisphere it is found is in.....Teotihuacan. So they Mayans were dependent on them and not some super race like the academic "discoverers" of Tikal had professed??????
They are like global warmers. They make stuff up and then build a narrative around it.
A 1000 years from now when they find the remains of childrens bodyparts in some of our "trans clinics" for kids, will they say we sacrificed children?
Nothing funnier than an idiots understanding of the scientific method.

The obvious questions is why did so many ancient religions practice ritual child sacrifice?
I mean cultures separated by oceans with no contact with each other were building similar pyramids, making similar art and killing children as offerings to the gods.
That’s a really strange coincidence unless we are completely mistaken about certain elements of human history.
The obvious answer is that they were all ancient humans trying to figure out the world using similar thought processes to explain the unknown and trying to exert control over the uncontrollable.
As far as pyramids being prevalent everywhere, how do you think people would build large structures before the advent of modern techniques consisting of steel superstructures and such? You stack rocks.
Or did the aliens or whatever just not favor the Mississippian cultures that had to make their “pyramids” out of mud?

You mean to tell me that 63million people have been culled...presumably mostly from people that make terrible choices and the remaining people are still this fricked up. Fascinating

This article has me wondering how many children the IDF has killed in the last 2 years.

That culture was worldwide at one time. The phonecians , I believe, had a thriving industry of selling children to be sacrificed if you didn’t have your own . They would even sacrifice it for you if you were busy at your job that day

Correct, Jews modeled their Temple industry after it.

make sure you add a table showing how many Jewish children have been killed by Muslims, when you find your answer.
and just for shits and giggles, make sure you post the stats on how many children- jew or otherwise- have been slaughtered in the name of Allah.

native americans were just peaceful nobles. who for some reason couldn’t conceptualize the wheel
Akchually, some meso-American civilizations had invented the wheel, but they had no domesticated draft animals to pull anything with.

I’d like for her to walk me though the logic that lead her to describe mass child sacrifice as being anything other than violent.

minds me of the Mel Gibson movie. I believe his intent was to show what happens to civilizations where child sacrifice (abortion) is part and parcel of the fabric of society.
Death cult.
Death cult.

This.
Some may dispute it, but the more we learn about what our current elites have been doing all along in not-so-secret rituals of child-sacrifice, the more it seems they've merely been carrying forth the same Luciferian-based "Loosh" creating fear, suffering and mass death-rituals of their (hidden) ancestral relatives.
What cannot be disputed:
The same kinds of monoliths and "Phoenician" hieroglyphics, petroglyphs and symbolism that are found in the Middle East are also found in North, Central and South Americas. The Aztec, Mayan, and Peruvian were hardly the only other "newly discovered" pyramid-builders "new world" civilizations -- there were those also many (hidden, covered-up, destroyed) in North America. Thus there is an existing Old World <---> New World connection of both Child sacrifice to "gods" and their respective eerily similar stone structures and altars for their dirty deeds.
Don't look for mercenary archaeologists or "science" or Vatican archives to suddenly disclose the truth of the matter.

Yep.
Moreover, the Phoenicians have never ever truly disappeared; Nor ever relinquished power and control. They've just kept on changing their identity, choosing to rule behind the scenes by proxy as "native" powers. (same as today)

Use of pyramid structure is easy to explain. It is conceptually the easiest, most robust way to build a tall structure. Comparatively little math and commonly available materials are required to build them and have them stand for many years. Things like gothic cathedrals are much more complex to design and build. A pyramid is mostly just brute force. And once built, they last forever. And so we have lasting examples of them all over the world.

Also, they weren't violent, but many of their cities were apparently evacuated and abandoned long before Europeans arrived. Must've been due to climate change, not extreme violence endemic to their beautiful cultures.
Sacrificing children or the victim of the month sure seems violent to me but finding out that climate change didn't start with hairspray and internal combustion engines is enlightening.
