yeah the human sacrifice thing was also so freakin' weird. Why would anyone assume "Oh no we're going thru a drought! we're gonna starve to death!! Oh we know why!! the gods want us to kill one of our kids!!! Johnny! get over here to the furnace, Quetzalcoatl wants you to jump in so the rest of your 15 brothers and sister can eat!!
The Aztecs were cannibals. Warriors would choose a specific capture and they alone would be allowed to eat them. If you didn't capture anyone you had to make do with whoever's remains you got. Pretty fucked up right? People still call Cortez evil for some fucking reason, boggles the mind.

The Spanish probably saw these things, and rightfully called those people Satanic, and therefore, deserving of God's wrath.
So much of history is just a straight up fucking lie. The noble savage, lol
Cannibalism still exists in many parts of Africa.
White people are just not culturally enriched enough.
