Too many people go crazy over all the things Ancient Greece, Rome, and China have brought to the world while the Mesoamericans always seem to get the short end of the stick. Dammit, the Mayans invented the number zero, and the Aztecs had brain surgery... for the people they didn't sacrifice to the sun god. That and corn. Delicious Corn.</p> http://chicagoist.com/2009/01/08/taste_of_the_aztec_world_worms_gras.php#comment-1557979 http://chicagoist.com/2009/01/08/taste_of_the_aztec_world_worms_gras.php#comment-1557979 Comments Thu, 08 Jan 2009 10:13:55 -0600 <p>Yum? I remember taking a class in Aztec history in College and being fascinated by three little words "bilateral transverse thoracotomy" Yeah, where they slice you open and pull out your heart as a sacrifice to Huitzilopochtli. Then came the ritual cannibalism. Delicious!</p>
