Context is everything. To be surprised that the winner in such an environment resorted to war is naieve.
Yes, it's barbaric to put skulls in piles. I guess they had to glorify what they did, as a sort of metal shield against murder. I don't know, I wasn't there.
- FredPret 3y agoTo justify human sacrifice as “contextual” is absolutely wild. Should the holocaust be seen “in context”? Or are you one of those who think only European colonizers / white people are capable of evil? War, murder, slaughter - all of these things existed everywhere. But gleeful and ritualistic mass-murder is different beast altogether. Some people are just evil.
