Most Brutal Human Sacrifice

Become a Call of History member: https://www.youtube.com/@call_of_history Religion is a fascinating phenomenon. For some, it provides solace in difficult moments and gives them strength to move forward. Yet for others, it's a convenient pretext to indulge their sadistic inclinations. Just recall the times of the Holy Inquisition. During that era, thousands of people accused of heresy or witchcraft were burned at the stake. Thousands more were tortured in dark dungeons, hundreds of whom became disabled for life. But if you think we're trying to accuse Christianity of excessive cruelty now, well, no, absolutely not. The ancient religions of the Celts, Carthaginians, Romans, and Aztecs were so much more brutal that Christianity seems harmless in comparison. And now you'll learn why the Aztecs wore clothing made from the skin of their victims. Why did a woven man strike terror into the Romans? And how did gladiatorial combat, originally a form of sacrifice, turn into a bloody sport? Sources: https://pastebin.com/raw/DzvnNaSS
