@FoxNews I‘m continually appalled by Trump. I’m even more appalled by the Christians who keep supporting him. “Christian” means “Christ-like.” Every pastor & parent should be saying, “Act like Jesus not like Trump.” Be kind. Show respect. Don’t insult people. Follow Jesus. Not Trump.

@archeohistories Eating their god, as the christians do. The human sacrifices started during the Hyksos time (fathers of the Hebrews) kept going during Antiquity and christianity kept this tradition. But as jesus did not have power, he just turned the sacrifice as ritual suicide.

Although there is universal agreement that human sacrifice and cannibalism were practised by some Mesoamerican societies, historians disagree over its extent. In Aztec Empire, which flourished in 14th Century CE, until its collapse in 1519 CE, it is generally accepted that human sacrifice was a part of Aztec culture – even an integral part of the Aztec religion. Documentation of Aztec human sacrifice and cannibalism mainly dates from the period after the Spanish conquest. When Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés arrived in the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan in 1521, he described seeing a sacrificial ceremony where priests sliced open the chests of sacrificial victims. Mesoamerican ethnographer Bernardino de Sahagun included an illustration of an Aztec being cooked in his 16th Century study, Historia general. Many scholars have cautioned against such claims, dismissing 16th Century CE, reports as propaganda used to justify the destruction of Tenochtitlan and the enslavement of the Aztec people. In 2015 and 2018, archaeologists at Templo Mayor excavation site in Mexico City discovered proof of widespread human sacrifice among the Aztecs. Researchers studying human bones found in Tenochtitlan found that the individuals had been decapitated and dismembered. The analysis suggested that the victims that been butchered and consumed, and that their flesh was removed immediately after immolation. Illustrations in temple murals and stone carvings have also been found to depict scenes of ritual human sacrifice. According to Aztec mythology, the sun god Huitzilopochtli required constant nourishment in the form of human blood to prevent the rise of darkness and the end of the world. The serpentine fertility god Quetzalcoatl and the jaguar god Tezcatlipoca both also required human sacrifice. Aztec ideology dictated that how an individual fared in the afterlife depended on them being either sacrificed to the gods or killed in battle. In contrast, a person who died of disease went to the lowest level of the underworld, Mictlan. The historian Ortiz de Montellano argued that because sacrificial victims were sacred, “eating their flesh was the act of eating the god itself”. The ritual was therefore a “gesture of thanks and reciprocity to the gods.” Difficult as it might be to imagine, the Aztecs would volunteer to be sacrificed, believing it to be the pinnacle of nobility and honour. Prisoners of war were also favoured as victims – expanding Aztec Empire of the 15th-16th Centuries saw human sacrifice as an act of intimidation. In 1520, a group of Spanish conquistadors, women, children and horses were captured by local people, known as the Acolhauas, near the major Aztec city of Tetzcoco. The prisoners were kept in ad hoc cells and, over the course of the following weeks, killed and cannibalised in ritual ceremonies. DNA tests of victims from the Templo Mayor site indicated that the majority were outsiders, most likely captured enemy soldiers or slaves. Historians generally believe that cannibalism was not practised by commoners and was not part of the regular Aztec diet. Instead, ritual cannibalism and human sacrifice took place as part of specific ceremonies. During festivals of the Aztec calendar, sacrificial victims would be adorned to appear as a god. After they were decapitated, the bodies of the victims would be gifted to noblemen and important members of the community. The 16th Century illustrations show body parts being cooked in large pots. The blood would be kept by the priests, used to mix with maize to create a dough that would be shaped as an effigy of the god, baked and then given as food to celebrants at the festival. © Léonie Chao-Fong #archaeohistories

Father and son crying goodbye to the mother as she migrates the Americas, they would never see her again, 1957 ... In November 1957, photographer Manuel Ferrol stood on the docks of Ferrol in northern Spain and quietly lifted a concealed camera from beneath his trench coat. He was documenting a moment that had become painfully common across postwar Europe. The photograph he captured shows twenty nine year old Ángel Calo Marcote and his eight year old son Juan Jesús Calo López breaking down as they say goodbye to Josefina López, the boy’s mother, who was boarding the ship Juan de Garay for Buenos Aires. She traveled with her own mother and brother, joining a wave of Europeans seeking work and stability in the Americas. For many families, migration meant separation that could last decades or become permanent. More than fifty million Europeans crossed the Atlantic between the nineteenth century and the late twentieth century, and scenes like this one marked the emotional cost of that movement. Communication was slow, travel was expensive, and authoritarian Spain made mobility even harder. Ferrol’s photograph, later titled O home e o neno, was censored under the dictatorship and the photographer’s identity stayed hidden until Spain’s democratic transition in 1975. Pope Francis was given a copy of this photograph in 2021, calling it one of the most human images of migration he had ever seen. © Historyfeels #archaeohistories

A Buddha statue in Afghanistan before its destruction in 1992... This photograph shows one of the towering Buddhas of Bamiyan, ancient statues carved directly into the cliffs of central Afghanistan. For over 1,400 years, these monumental figures stood watch over the Bamiyan Valley, rising 125 and 180 feet tall. They were created during the 6th century, when the region was a thriving center of Buddhist culture and a major stop along the Silk Road. Monks, pilgrims, and travelers passed through this valley for centuries, leaving behind layers of art, architecture, and inscriptions that blended Indian, Greek, Persian, and Central Asian influences. By the late 20th century, Afghanistan had been consumed by conflict. The statue in this image still stood during the early years of the civil war, though it was already scarred by artillery fire. Children played beneath it, travelers rested in its shadow, and archaeologists still visited the caves that surrounded it. The contrast between the joy in the foreground — a volleyball game — and the ancient figure behind them is striking. It represents a moment when history, culture, and everyday life briefly coexisted, even as violence grew around them. Though heavily damaged in 1992, the statues survived in partial form until 2001, when their destruction became one of the world’s most devastating acts against cultural heritage. Behind the Buddhas were more than 700 caves carved by monks, many decorated with some of the oldest surviving examples of oil-based painting anywhere in the world. #archaeohistories

Ancient Egyptian Queen Tiye’s curly hair 3359 years later..... Tiye (1398-1338 BC) was one of the most influential women of the 18th Dynasty and the grandmother of Tutankhamun. And what shocks people most when they learn about her is not only her power but how her features have remained so intact that her curls are still visible more than three thousand years later. Tiye was the wife of Amenhotep III, mother of Akhenaten, and lived in a world where Egypt was arguably at its greatest cultural height. She corresponded with foreign rulers, was depicted in royal statuary at an equal scale to the king, and played a role in diplomacy that very few ancient queens ever did. Unlike many queens before her, Tiye was a prominent political figure who directly advised her husband and was even addressed directly by foreign rulers. She held several administrative positions and was considered a strong and energetic leader, earning the nickname "the Iron Lady of Ancient Egypt". Her influence continued after her husband's death. She is thought to have played a role in influencing her son Akhenaten, who instigated a major religious revolution in Egypt. When she died in her early sixties she was buried in the Valley of the Kings. The dry desert environment and the elite embalming techniques preserved her hair structure, protein bonds, and even some of her natural texture. To see curls like these on a woman who lived before the Trojan War is a jarring reminder that these people were not distant abstractions from textbooks. They were real humans with faces, voices, emotions, and personal styles. Microscopic examination has shown that many elite Egyptian women used oils of cedar, castor, and moringa to moisturize their hair which helped preserve curl patterns during mummification. Her mummified remains were discovered in 1908 in the tomb of Amenhotep II, initially known as "The Elder Lady". In 2010, DNA analysis confirmed the mummy was indeed Queen Tiye.  #archaeohistories
