"the most remarkable native representation of human sacrifice that we possess"

Image from p. 70 of a facsimile of the Codex Magliabecchano published by Zelia Nuttall in as "The Book of the Life of the Ancient Mexicans, Containing an Account of Their Rites and Superstitions, an Anonymous Hispano-Mexican Manuscript Preserved at the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Florence, Italy" in 1903 (University of California, Berkeley).

Another example of attempts to distort the truth. This is specifically Aztec and not of any other Mexican cultural group! Such images are used by debunkers to portray Mexican cultures as bloodthirsty savages. We all know that the fascistic Aztec were sacrificing tens of thousands a year, and were hated for it. So did other colonial powers around the world, including the USA today!
