Human sacrifice older than Aztec era? Ancient pre-Aztec altar discovered in Mexico sheds new light on ritual killings

This altar, which contains human skulls and offerings for rituals, highlights the historical occurrence of sacrificial practices. The evidence suggests that the Aztecs built upon established Mesoamerican religious customs, proving these rituals were entrenched long before their rise.
