You see, it's not that these Aztec and Mayan cultures (and precursors) were being violent when they chopped up children on slabs of stone. They were just "connecting with the celestial bodies." Of course, even if one is morally vapid enough to accept that explanation, these indigenous Central American tribes were also incredibly violent in waging war and propagating slavery as a means of subjugation. The picture of them being peaceful peoples, just misguidingly sacrificing children to pagan gods because they didn't know any better, is ahistorical nonsense.
What you need to understand about that type of misrepresentation is that it is vital to upholding leftwing dogma on "colonization" and the supposed evils of capitalism. In that telling, these tribes would have flowered into a peaceful utopia without Western intervention. Further, they were morally superior to the Spanish invaders despite sacrificing children to false gods, perpetuating the most brutal form of slavery in history, and murdering each other with reckless abandon.
If the left loses that framing, their entire worldview, which centers on Western cultures being the only ones capable of evil, collapses. That's how you get a mainstream broadcast network seeking out an "expert" to claim child sacrifice was non-violent. Yeah, it's ridiculous, but it's also very purposeful. //

WEll, abortion is modern day child sacrifice, and the left celebrates it openly, so I guess nothing has changed.

I was thinking the exact same thing the entire time I was reading the article. Through modern technology we can actually see the size of the baby and it’s every feature in the womb and the left still perpetuates the idea that is is ok to murder a baby up until birth.
Not only do they kill children that would be viable outside of the womb, they actually sell their body parts. They are just as abhorrent as the barbarians that committed child sacrifice. Maybe more so.
