Think about the GP comment though: "they've had achieved statehood with a complex society, but they were killing people for religious reasons". And the religious reasoning underpinned a major part of the colonial effort.

- gostsamo 4y agoIt is like you did not read the first sentence of the comment that you are replying to. I'll repeat it in another form: the gp implied that human sacrifice is sufficient enough to discard any other achievement of the society in question. I argue that the value of human life at the time was rather conditional matter. The rest of the debate is quantity and quality, and people who prefer to draw semi-arbitrary lines in the sand.
