Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Aztecs rose to power late in the history of Mesoamerica. Other significant cultures such as the Olmecs, the Maya, and the Zapotecs had flourished for over a thousand years before the Aztec Empire was created. #2 The Toltecs were a people who lived in central Mexico. They were displaced by the Mexica, who were a tribe of Nahuatl-speaking people who worshiped the deity Huitzilopochtli. The Aztecs, who were named after their semi-mythical homeland of Aztlan, eventually took over their city.

At an excavation of the Great Aztec Temple in Mexico City, amid carvings of skulls and a dismembered warrior goddess, David Carrasco stood before a container filled with the decorated bones of infants and children. It was the site of a massive human sacrifice, and for Carrasco the center of fiercely provocative questions: If ritual violence against humans was a profound necessity for the Aztecs in their capital city, is it central to the construction of social order and the authority of city states? Is civilization built on violence? In City of Sacrifice,Carrasco chronicles the fascinating story of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital, investigating Aztec religious practices and demonstrating that religious violence was integral to urbanization; the city itself was a temple to the gods. That Mexico City, the largest city on earth, was built on the ruins of Tenochtitlan, is a point Carrasco poignantly considers in his comparison of urban life from antiquity to modernity. Majestic in scope, City of Sacrifice illuminates not only the rich history of a major Meso american city but also the inseparability of two passionate human impulses: urbanization and religious engagement. It has much to tell us about many familiar events in our own time, from suicide bombings in Tel Aviv to rape and murder in the Balkans.
