The phrase Capacocha has also been translated to mean "solemn sacrifice" or "royal obligation."^[4] The rationale for this type of sacrificial rite has typically been understood as the Inca trying to ensure that humanity's best were sent to join their deities.

two out double...runner on first and third...it's a strange tale...before they were sacrificed, the children were nurtured, pampered, and given coca leaf and fermented maize intoxicants...they were drunk...Valbuena lead off single off the right field corner wall...Maldonado K...

quote

Forensic evidence suggests that many children (as well as the priests) received coca leaves to chew on in order to give them energy and help them breathe more easily in the high mountains while climbing upward. Once at the summit the young victims would then be administered an intoxicating drink or other substance to either induce sleep or a stupor, ostensibly to let the final ritual go on smoothly.

 of late, in my daily 'news archaeology' browse, I've seen the stories of the mass graves...Kinsler two out two run home run!...mass graves of sacrifices being found in Inca lands...Trout hard hit ground out...Angels 4-0...

quote
from April, 2018

Archaeologists in Peru have found the ancient remains of 140 children who were likely killed as part of a mass ritual sacrifice.

A common object for offerings, as well as one used by artisans, was the shell of the Spondylus shellfish, which resides only in the warm coastal waters off present-day Ecuador.

One of the earliest known examples of distance communication is a Chimú device consisting of two resin-coated gourds connected by a 75-foot length of twine.

Spondylus has specialized sensory organs, in particular sensitive eyes and papillae, that Andean cultures associate with extra sensory protection. Sensitive to temperature changes in water and thriving in warmer waters, the shell was thought to have divinatory powers, and because its migratory patterns are related to El Niño conditions, its presence is seen as an omen for disaster

well, hooey, that mollusk produces yet another hallucinogen when there's a 'red' tide...

Though the remains of shell workshops and artifacts are abundant in Chimor, the Spondylus shell originates in the warm waters of Ecuador.^[15] Harvesting the shell is both a time and labor-intensive process, requiring experienced divers to free dive to depths of up to 50 meters and pry the shells off of rocks.^[

The Spondylus genus has about 76 species living worldwide, three of which are of interest to archaeologists. Two spondylus species from the Pacific Ocean (Spondylus princeps and S. calcifer) held important ceremonial and ritual significance to many of the prehistoric cultures of South, Central, and North America.

S. gaederopus, native to the Mediterranean Sea, played an important role in the trade networks of the European Neolithic. This article summarizes information about both regions.

Because of its properties—it’s known in Arabic as “the fish that makes dreams”—this sea bream was supposedly consumed as a recreational drug in the Roman Empire and used among Polynesians for ceremonial purposes.

hmmph...looking for what Polynesians might have done with the mollusk...found a fish with the suspected property...ball off the wall miss played by Upton...lead off double...line out...thought is that pre historic cultures were all addled by intoxicants...in particular the ruling classes...only the Mayan elite could drink cocoa/chocolate...and they all seem to be stratified along the same lines, like the three estates of medieval Europe...

quote

The best known system is the French Ancien Régime (Old Regime), a three-estate system used until the French Revolution (1789–1799). Monarchy was for the king and the queen and this system was made up of clergy (the First Estate), nobles (the Second Estate), and peasants and bourgeoisie (the Third Estate).

Here Kekulé spoke of the creation of the theory. He said that he had discovered the ring shape of the benzene molecule after having a reverie or day-dream of a snake seizing its own tail (this is a common symbol in many ancient cultures known as the Ouroboros or Endless knot).^[

another area is the uncanny knowledge pre historic folk had of the properties of plants...read a book once about talking plants...so, so, how does all this tie into graves of sacrificed children?...don't know, but the streets and prisons are filling up with folk babbling on and on from having their minds altered by intoxicants!...Nature can be unkind too, making for mental illness...double play...inning ending 5-4-3...to bottom of 8th...Maldonado up...the Phoenicians are biblically shaded for child sacrifice...Angels made out...Angels just picked up reliever Drake who was on waivers...and he's taking the mound top of 9th...Angels have hopes of strengthening the bullpen...

quote

Neighbors criticized Carthage for their child sacrifice practices. Plutarch (ca. 46–120 AD), Tertullian, Orosius and Diodorus Siculus mention this practice however, Livy and Polybius do not. The ancestors of Carthage, Canaanites, were also mentioned performing child sacrifices in the Hebrew Bible and by some Israelites, at a place called the Tophet ("roasting place").^[

Child sacrifice is thought to be an extreme extension of the idea that, the more important the object of sacrifice, the more devout the person giving it up is.
