3. We also spent some time looking at the Aztec and Inca religious beliefs and how practices such as sun worship and human sacrifices were viewed as pagan rituals by the invading Catholic Spanish conquistadors of the 16th century. We viewed Digging for the Truth: The Aztecs of Blood and Sacrifice to help with this section.
