Strangest Rituals in Ancient Times?
What Were the Strangest
Human Sacrifice:
One of the most unsettling and bizarre rituals practiced by several ancient civilizations was human sacrifice. From the Aztecs in Mesoamerica to the Mayans in Central America and the Celts in Europe, the act of offering human lives to appease gods or spirits was shockingly common.

About the Creator
Jim Sloan
By Brian D’Ambrosio At 90, Jim Sloan has lived several lifetimes’ worth of work—carpenter, sign painter, excavator, sawmiller, road-builder and the go-to rattlesnake remover of Galisteo, New Mexico. Art may be the through-line, but it has never been the source of his income, nor the center of his universe.
