Aztec Cannibalism
Perhaps of the most well known examples of human cannibalism in history is the Aztec people from the area of Central America now known as Mexico. In some cases Aztec people were Endocannibals, eating the sacrificed, believing the flesh was blessed and would enable them to commune with their Gods. In other cases Aztec people were Exocannibals, eating the flesh or organs of slain enemies to spiritually gain the strength of the vanquished.
