The Maya Empire
Question:
What was Maya bloodletting?
Answer:
Bloodletting was part of every festival. We don't know all the details, but we do know that people had to offer up some blood (just a few drops smeared on bark) to let the gods know that they were worshiping. Other times, the priests believed more blood was needed and an animal or a person was sacrificed. Maya Sacrifice
