Reino de Mictlán

From Book III of the Florentine Codex:

You have brought yourself to the place of mystery, the place of the unfleshed, the place where there is arriving, the place with no smoke hole, the place with no fireplace. No longer will you make your way back, your return. No more will you consider your present, your past. For a little while you have gone leaving orphans, you have gone leaving people, your children, your grandchildren.

I remember that they had in a plaza, where there were some shrines, so many places of dead skulls, which could be counted, according to the concert as they were set, that when they appeared they would be more than one hundred thousand; and I say again about one hundred thousand. And in another part of the square were as many rows of bones without meat, bones of dead, that could not be counted; and they had in many beams many heads hanging from one part to another. And keeping those bones and skulls were three priests, who, as we understood, were in charge of them. Of which we had to look more after we entered the land well: in all the villages they were that way, and also in Tascala.

Bernal Diaz de Castillo, eyewitness and soldier serving with Cortes, The Conquest Of New Spain. Written decades after the conquest, Diaz's memoir has consistently proven to be a reliable source of the 'Aztec' Kingdom of Death.  To my knowledge no other culture had organized cannibalism on the scale of the Mexica people, known as Aztecs.  Mexico had no large meat animals so the upper classes needed the reward of tasty protein.  They were so hated that the entire population of the subject tribes turned on them and helped the Spanish destroy Tenochtitlan, and ultimately themselves.

Espacio para uno más, cariño.
