Chaq mol (indian statue for offerings) at the Templo
Mayor, Mexico City. This was the centre of universe
according to Aztec belief. The Aztecs made human sacrifices
to please their gods, and in 1487 more than 20 000 people
were sacrificed at this very place, the frenzy only stopped
when the priests were overcome by exhaustion...
