- inglor_cz 5y agoYour very link suggests that the tradition likely never existed. If it did, you would expect some archeological discovery supporting it. You can't throw old people into a hole for centuries without a cache of bones developing at the bottom. There is, for example, ample physical evidence of Aztec human sacrifice.
