>>39657717They really didn't do cannibalism that much, that's mostly Conquistador propoganda. They did it in specific ritualistic situations where the person in question was seen as the incarnation of a god, so taking in the flesh was more like communion, but outside of that context doing it would be seen as barbaric.
They, in general, get a bad rap. You never hear about their poetry, philsophy, legal and judicial systems, their hydraulic engineering or how good they were at bonotanical science and medicine; the bloody stuff is all people talk about, which is a shame. It'd be like if 99% of stuff on the greeks just talked about the boy rape or 99% of the stuiff baout the japanese was about seppukku
Anyways, what I meant by that is that they were very big on on communal morals, traditional family models, sexual purity, etc. Men and women had very clear social model they were supposed to model in terms of domestic duties and family models, with women and men being expected to be married by a certain age and not doing so being heavily looked down upon, adultery being punishable by death, as was things like sodomy, homosexuality, etc (though this might he Spanish/european morality being injected into historical accounts) etc.
