Human Sacrifice in the Aztec Empire
The real history of human sacrifice.
When you think of the Aztec Empire, what do you picture? Human sacrifice?
In today's episode, Anthony is joined by Aztec expert Dr. Caroline Dodds Pennock, to unpack why we fetishise the Aztecs in this way, why ritualised violence is certainly not limited to this civilisation in this time in history, and who it benefitted to think of them in this way.
Edited by Hannah Feodorov. Produced by Stuart Beckwith. Senior Producer is Freddy Chick.
