yeah, according to our mayan guide when i was there the human sacrifices never happened… but they were extremely inconsistent with their stories and also believed that the number of days in the solar year is connected with human body through the number of joints so i wouldn’t take their word for it.

when i was listening to what guides in other groups were telling about the same spots and traditions i noticed that each and every one of them had their own fantastic and completely different story and many of the things they were saying were clearly wrong (e.g. that the descent of kukulcan shadow play only happens on two particular days of the year).

oh shit… i was there on that day! and i missed it…

yeah, the moderation there is getting insane. at this point i don’t even believe it is done by humans any more.

i got a permaban after responding to a comment that said bombing a hospital in gaza that killed over 30 children was a legitimate military target. i just politely wrote that maybe bombing hospitals full of kids is not a good idea even if a terrist is hiding inside…
