Since the Aztecs believed to they needed to sacrifice a lot of people a year to please their "gods", this bloody ritual ceremony would take the lives of 10,000 people a year. If the Aztecs didn't have enough victims to supply this ritual of slashing open the victims chest on top of a temple the rolling the bloody body down the steps the Aztecs would fight battles with neighboring people and capture prisoners.
