Why were Aztecs called the heart eating Aztecs?
I don't believe the Aztecs actually ate hearts. However, they did sacrifice people by cutting out their hearts while they were still alive. Apparently, the still beating heart was a great gift to the Gods! Another little fact is that they also thought that children were the best to sacrifice! The Aztecs may have been called 'heart-eating Aztecs' because, during war, the Aztec soldiers would capture the enemy. After the battle, the prisoners of war would be sacrificed. Seeing as how the priest only needed the heart for the Gods, the rest of the body was untouched. However, the Aztecs also believed it was customary for the person who caught the sacrifice to eat the rest of the body... which is maybe why the Aztecs were called 'heart-eating Aztecs'.
