12 Absolutely Terrifying Aztec Artifacts

The Aztecs emerged in central Mexico around 1300 AD, coming to dominate the surrounding area from their capital city Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City. Stretching across highlands, coastal plains, valleys, and jungles, they were the largest and most successful Mesoamerican empire in terms of size and demographics. They were also fierce, violent, powerful, and gruesome. Known for their brutal battle tactics and ritual sacrifices of war captives, slaves, and innocent civilians, the Aztecs were obsessed with death. They kept skulls as trophies, flayed people alive, ripped out their hearts, rolled heads down pyramid steps, cannibalized their victims, and worshipped death gods. These artifacts give a terrifying insight into the world of the ancient Aztecs.
