I'm just pointing out that we don't have to postulate human sacrifice to account for people knowing what organs looked like. They would have had occasion to see them for themselves often enough during wartime, and cleaning up after battles.

Sure, sure, but we're talking about fairly accurate sculptures (? I haven't looked yet) of organs from an earlier era, eh?
