A good, quick read for anybody thinks that the Atlzanis wishing for a true, ethnic homeland will be anything but hell.
The dig at Calpulalpan tells us, however, that the Aztecs were not alone in suffering. What happened at the site seems now to have amounted to a massacre of followers of Cortez that did not happen all at once but over a period of as many as six months. As many as 550 people were seemingly killed, all belonging to the caravan bringing supplies from the sea to the capital. Slow-moving and therefore easy prey, the caravan was made up of a mixture of mulattos (mixed-blood African-Europeans), mestizos (mixed-blood Spanish-Indians) and Mayan Indians, including cooks, tradesmen and porters. Among their number were men, women and children.
~ If we knew that the Aztecs practised human sacrifice, scholars have been far more wary about claims that they also indulged in cannibalism. The discoveries at Calpulalpan - in those days called Zultepec - by Mr Martinez and his team of archeologists seem to warrant an end to such caution, however. Painstaking inspection of the bones and skeletons found leave little doubt that the victims’ bodies were not only dismembered by the Aztecs but also served up as food. According to Mr Martinez, knife cuts and even teeth marks are visible on some bones showing how human flesh had been stripped off to be cooked. He also contends that he has found evidence that some pregnant women in caravans were seized and their unborn babies stabbed while still in their bellies, as part of a religious ritual.
