from a friend:
It corresponds with the period when the cannibals from Mexico city did
there major expansion. (Aztecs)
Bishop Landa quotes an old Mayan historian describing the disaster that
period was for the Maya in the Yucatan.
This in response to Landa's question -- what happened to the people that
built all these great cities we see the ruins of now (Landa is observing
those in 1535 BC)
The historian described 3 events that led to the fall of the Yucatec Maya.
The conquest by the Aztecs
The 100 year drought.
A great hurricane that killed 2/3 of their population.
We have records of the Aztec "habit" from Bernal -- we have evidence of the
100 year drought -- but nothing on that huge hurricane.
After that "conquest" human sacrifice was introduced to the Maya "culture"
You can read a lot about this in the first hand accounts of the Conquest of
Mexico by Bernal Diaz Del Castillo -- endless descriptions of huge piles of
bones -- piled up after the meat was stripped off them to feed the Cannibals.
Agreed -- modern ameri8can archeology has a blind spot on this subject --
simply stating the Maya were always big into human sacrifice.
However -- the Aztecs never did manage to reach here in Belize -- ancient
Chetumal -- and there are no "ChakMal" human sacrifice alters at all in the
ruins here.
You really need read Landa and Bernal first --
American archaeologists are the "FOX" station of ancient cultural sciences
-- and should always be regarded with equal "suspicion" as one does in
regard to the news FOX broadcasts daily.
In Bernal's rendition -- he was an actually living participant -- it is one
description after another of mountains piled to the skies made of human bones.
Also -- the slaughter houses.
