MJ,
Which part of Apocalypto do you consider historically inaccurate?

why on earth anyone would think that Gibson would make an historically accurate

he made like Braveheart and that damnable Patriot, which was, in terms of
history complete bullshit.

Salyavin,
As shown in Mel Gibson's movie, Apocalypto, the ancient Aztec culture was based
on drugs and hallucinogens taken by the priests to gain visions of their gods.
As such, we can assume that the rest of the population was also taking drugs to
gain the visions of their gods as well. We can see this drug culture in the
symbols used in decorating their temples and pyramids--specifically, the snake
which represents Rahu, the Hindu god of illusion and delusion.
It is further conceivable that the victims for the sacrifices were given drugs
to become docile, in their hallucinations, to participate in their impending
deaths.
Aren't these similar to the drug culture today in Mexico and the USA?
I don't think so no. The Aztec priests might have taken hallucinogens but that
doesn't follow that the general populace did. And even if it was similar it
doesn't follow that there is some sort of universal system whereby punishment
for events is meted out to later generations or even to people living in the
same place.
These days everyone is into cocaine which is a different kettle of bananas to
hallucinogenics anyway.

The Pope said so. But the Mexicans are furious. It's also possible that the
violence is due to the past karma of the country--such as the sacrifice of
people to the Aztec gods, before the Spaniards came to Mexico.
Is it possible? Most Mexican aren't even indigenous, especially in the north of
the country where most of the violence takes place at the border.
I think a more likely explanation for the deaths is selfish American druggies
who think that doing a line of coke on a saturday night doesn't hurt anyone.
The pope is an asshole.
