Were Mayans taking part in human sacrifice the same as Aztecs?

If so when.

If so should we still follow their calendar as some guide for us?

Signed a confused Leopard that would prefer to follow Mayan calendars but not if those calendars were somehow majorly sacrificial based and stuff.

Want to add, human sacrifice was practiced by most ancient people all over the globe.

Don't be sentimental and foolish, OP.

We have sacrifices going on everyday, all over the world. It's just not called "ritual" sacrifice ... it's just modern warfare ... it happens to be mass murder on a scale that would beggar the efforts of all the Aztecs and Mayans put together.

It's important that we try not to take the moral high ground. We have no room to brag or feel superior.

Yes they did..and as far as the calendar maybe they just got bored with counting

I'm not a part of that. Many others aren't either.

I will now exercise my right to moral superiority.
As low and behold I can.

The absolutely did.

BTW, the Mayan calendar "running out" is no more significant than getting the error message on a calculator when you try to add numbers that are too big.

It's basically adding 1 to 999, but you don't have room for a fourth digit.

Yep you are right, they all did it back then.
And they slowly moved onto animals.
And now they just pretend.

Re: Were Mayans partaking of human sacrifices the same as Aztecs?
Yes, to some degree.

Mayans were more 'gentle' about it, I guess you can say. Like a virgin would be choosen to give to the Gods. The virgin would be pampered and treated like a God him or herself for awhile. Then they would step into one of the cenotes (natural wells) to make the journey to the Gods.

Aztec would capture enemies and slaughter them on the temples. Lots of blood and pulling out of hearts. You know the story.

Re: Were Mayans partaking of human sacrifices the same as Aztecs?
I know Aztec and Mayan are two separate cultures.

I understand that this sacrificing of humans took place at the end of Aztec civilization.

I am not saying that this be the ideation of the Mayans during or before their sacrificing.

Aztecs had some similar views though to Mayans about the "reversing of the end of the world" was their ideation.

I wanted to know if the sacrifices of Mayans took place at the beginning or end of their duration there.

Thank you for enlightening if you know history.
