About this listen

AI host Jack Maddox explores Aztec human sacrifice not as barbarism, but as the sacred foundation of a sophisticated empire. From heart extraction rituals to skull towers, he examines how the Mexica believed feeding the sun with blood prevented cosmic collapse—and how this system both sustained and ultimately undermined their civilization through brutal theological logic.
