Your sacrificial virgin is walking the wrong way.

As all I learned about the Mayas so far, they sacrificed their enemies. 
May be Tikal vs. Calakmul. They raided each other and sacrificed the 
captured soldiers and rulers but I never learned about the sacrifice of 
virgins. The Mayas were cruel people for sure, but please give proof to 
your statement.

Best regards
Michael

It seems that they also sacrificed volunteers. It looks like it could be 
an honour to give one's life to the gods, in the most literal sense you 
can think of.

How about boys.

"Archeologist Guillermo de Anda from the University of Yucatan pieced
together the bones of 127 bodies discovered at the bottom of one of
Chichen Itza’s sacred caves and found over 80 percent were likely boys
between the ages of 3 and 11."

Not too different from our "civilization": the machine demands a 
sacrifice (Colosseum), so we feed the Sacred Automobile with child meat 
on a regular basis! As if they needed it to run...

See you in Khyberspace!

Hello Dick,
thanks a lot for this post. I was aware that the Maya were cruel to 
their enemies from a lot of TV-Documentations That they sacrificed 
children is a new intelligence to me. One ever learns...

Best regards
Michael

Hello Yadgar,
I have some difficulties in understanding your post. I cannot see a 
connection between the Roman Colosseum and automobiles. The only 
personal connection I have is that I passed the Colosseum by riding an 
atac-Bus this year to reach the St. Sebastian catacombs at Rome. If I 
could afford it, which is not the case, I would really like to move to 
Rome, the most fascinating city I ever visited.

Besste regards
Michael

It's not about the Colosseum in Rome, but the same-named progressive 
rock band... on their 1969 album "Valentyne Suite" one title is "The 
Machine Demands A Sacrifice" - taken as cynical allusion to the "car 
worship" of modern societies and its deadly consequences.

Yes, indeed... I visited Rome 30 years ago, and I surely would do so 
again - but this time in summer, not in early March!

See you in Khyberspace!
