History Teacher: Incas Were Kind When They Did Child Sacrifices, White History Hides It

EXCERPT:

UNKNOWN FEMALE: “I will die on this hill. I’m specifically talking about the Inca here. We’re not talking about the Mexica. That’s a whole separate type of sacrifice. If we’re just looking at Tahuantinsuyu, the Quechua people, the Incan empire, they practiced sacrifices like most other civilizations throughout history did in times of crisis. So famine, natural disasters. But the unique thing about the Quechua is that when you’re looking at like the Incan civilization, you essentially have the elites and then you have everyone else. Sacrifices were volunteers from the elite class because they believed that the elites were closer to the gods and could therefore appease them better. Also in terms of sacrifice, they were kind about it.”
