Aztec sacrifice also had a down side to it. Sometimes boys and girls were sacrificed. They intentionally harmed the person by drawing blood from the body. The body after sacrificed was harshly thrown down the steps of the temple or pyramid. The victim was eaten as an honor. Their thighs were served in a nice tomato and chili pepper sauce. Yum! 100 to 1,000 people could get sacrificed at a time. Aztec people got sacrificed too and some were daring and were willing to get sacrificed! Also, if conquering and sacrificing scared other civilizations and the Aztecs did their own people, then the Aztec people would be scared too!!
