The Ancient Aztec

I bought the Aztec Spirit Shield and an ancient voice began to speak. She gave me information about the Mexicas, as they called themselves. Did you play racquetball? I asked her. She said they had a game. It is a combination of racquetball, soccer and basketball. The feathered serpent on the shield stared me down. Did you have slaves? She laughed. We could be slaves, and we were. We could sell our children, and we did. I tried to not look horrified. We sold ourselves too, like you do. We do not sell ourselves! I retorted. Oh, yes, you do, she told me. You sell yourself up to eight hours a day. You are as much I slave as we were. We could buy ourselves back, too, like you do. Did you like to sacrifice humans? Of course, we did! And you had a god? We had hundreds of them. We borrowed gods from many cultures. Were men faithful to their wives? Yes. All of them. Did you have dentists? How else could we have filed down our teeth and replaced them with gems? I gave the shield to a museum soon after purchasing it. Not wanting to hear more.
