Episode 38: Aztec Rituals & Religions

Coming at you with some grisly rituals of human sacrifice this week! But there's SO MUCH MORE to the Aztecs! Crazy calendars and a Codex, an end of the world party to dance until your dead, and of course weird animal gods...spiky water dog, anyone?? More bizarre appendages at the end of creatures' tails??

We've got it all this week and even a theory as to what took down the whole empire. Tune in and eat your heart out, other episodes!....wait...maybe strike that last...
