In 1487 the Aztecs of central Mexico sacrificed 20,000 people in four days. The queues of victims, in four lines, were over 3 kilometres (1.8 miles) long.

@ChildOfSiberia @UnfadingWisdom I think I heard that researchers argue that those numbers are overestimated.

@vojpel_2001 @UnfadingWisdom 5,000 people per day is just insane. Everytime I see one of these posts, they increase the numbers.
