Sacrificial temple opens in Mexico City

“In total, the remains of 32 individuals were discovered at the site, including children and adolescents who are believed to have been sacrificed to Ehécatl-Quetzalcóatl. Ehécatl was the rain-bringer and according to early Spanish chroniclers, the amount of rain that fell was determined by the number of tears shed by the sacrificial victims.”

Only 32 sets of remains, including children and adolescents? It's too bad those white European Christian Spanish men under Cortes, put an end to the indigenous Aztec religion.
