Huitzilopochtli, the main god of the Aztecs and the God of War, was bloodthirsty and he needed sacrifices to sustain him in his journey throughout the day. The Aztecs believed that if they didn't sacrifice a human then the sun would not rise the next day.
The Aztecs sacrificed other human beings hearts, as an offering to the gods for giving the Aztecs the sun. The Aztecs believed that the sun was created by the gods sacrificing themselves to make the sun. So, the Aztecs believe that they have to repay the god with human hearts, or blood.
