Sacrificial Stone Testimonial of Bloodshed in Mexico
m
BXICO might be called a Una
of blood. It was so In the
days of the Astecs. It was
so many times during the
days of the Spaniards, and It
has been so during these tors.
rlble days of Madcro and Huerta. In
this letter I write of the bloody times
of the rast. I have Just come from the
T:tlonal museum where I have photo
gi replied the fnerlflclal stone which was
tn use when CorUz came, and which was
one of the bloodiest shrines upon earth.
1 say bloody shilne, and I mean It.
TH stone, so small that It would not
fill the parlor of a flat renting for W a
month, has been the site of more battles
Hum any other spot of Its sUo In the
world. Upon It have flowed streams of
blood greater than those of the teccnt
war between Bulgaria and Turkey, and
all the deaths of the recent revolution
here are nothing In comparison with
those who have died on this block of
granite. It wns upon It that the Span
lards saw the Astecs kill their captured
biothers. The fight between the Span
lards and tho Mexicans was at Its helqht
when Cortcz saw the Astcc priests lead
tho Spanish captives Up the steps of thu
tnlshty mound which stood Just above
where this stone now rests and lay them
upon It preparatory to cutting out their
hearts. The captlvts wero stripped to
thc.r waists and Cortez could tell them
by tho contrast of their white skins
against thosa of tlio coprer colored mas
ters. Tho Spaniards' heads were adorned
with feathors, and they were made to
dance as they went up. As soon as they
wore stripped, their naked bodies were
laid upon the stone. Then camj a flash
of the knlfo and a moment later the
priests held up their bloody hearts and
threw them to that horrid Idol, the Aztec
god of war, which you may see hero
against the wall of this same museum.
The archcologlsts are now working on
the history of those ancient times. They
are finding new tablets bearing hlero
gyphlcs and the exploration Is going on
among the ruined cities as far south as
Guatemala. I have already written of
tho work our archcologlcal society is
doing at Qulrlgua. That relates to the
Mayans. ' The Aztecs came later and we
have better Information as to them.
Their records show that 72,000 captives
Were killed on this sacrificial stone In one
day. That was shortly before Columbus
discovered America. The prisoners were
selected by lot, and they formed a proces
sion about two miles long. In one of the
buildings near the Teocall, the great
altar of the Aztecs, the Spaniards with
Cortez found 136,000 skulls, taken from
those who had been thus killed. Among
them were men. women and children.

On the Sncriflclnl Stone.
But let me tell you how the stone looks,
We know 1( Is authentic, for the records
say that It was thrown down by Cortez,
and thus became a part of the ruins of
Montezuma's capital. That was over 400
years ago. The stone lay burled for more
than three centuries, but about 100 years
ago It was dug up, arid the authorities
ordered It to be broken to pieces, that It
might be used for paving the city. One
of the priests objected, however, and It
was saved.
There s nothing that brings one closer
to the Aztecs. The stone Is perfeotly
round, and Us rim Is covered with earr
ings. In the center of the top Is a hole
as big as a tin wash basin, with a groove
running out to the rim. That hole was
used to catch the blood of the victims
which flowed over through the groove
Into a great stone bowl which also Is
here to be seen.
The Aztecs had a ritual ooncernlnff
their sacrifices, and the moat disting
uished of the captives were often given a
chance to fight for their lives. Separate
and apart from the stone of sacrifice was
a gladiatorial stone with a ring In Its
top, upon which' the captive, stripped to,
the sklri, fought under the eyes of the
king and other spectators. He was
chained to the stone and given a wooden
sword and shield. Thus equipped he con
tended with a soldier, who was armed
with a sword of obsidian, a glassllko
substance made from a kind of volcanic
lava. The obsidian weapon had a razor-
like edge, and the contest consequently
was very unequal. Nevertheless, the
wooden sword sometimes prevailed, and
the man won his freedom. If he failed
or was wounded his body was carried
to the stone of sacrifice and there of
fered to the war god of the Aztecs.
Astro Cruelties, Past and Present.
Standing beside this stone and looking
back Into the past, the cruelties perpe
trated by the rebels of today in some of
the mountain districts are not strange.
The stories have not been published in
the American papers, but they come from
reliable sources. In one case, for In
stance, some brigands, having captured
their enemy, stripped, him to the kln,
tied him to a tree and then shot at him
again and again.,- They were careful of
their aim so as to wound but not Kill.
After tho man was cut almost to pieces
by the bullets he was taken down t nd,
his legs being tied by ropes to two dif
ferent homes, he was torn apart. That
was the work" of the half-breed descend
ants of the Aztecs.
Th,e , full-blooded .Aztecs of four, cen
turies ago had tortures equally cruel, and
their most famous sacrifice was typical
of them. This occurred once every year,
when the most handsome youth that could
bo found' was the victim. It was neces
sary that he should be physically perfect,
and the priests who made the selection
Insisted on his being without blemish r.nd
in possession. of-all -the graces-of youth,
He was chosen a year prior to the sacri
fice, and from that. time Until his death
he lived like a prince. He was wined and
d.ned and had four of the most beautiful
girls in the land as his mistresses. He
was the great young 'man of his time, and
with music and feasting upon flowery
bids '6 fease he rode gaily to his doom.
When the final day came he said good
bye to his sweethearts, and, decorated
w.th-flowers, took' his place on this sacri
ficlal stone. Then the priests, dressed Jn
red, drove their knives into his breast
and pulled out his heart. They held It
aloft -before the'eyea -of the multitude
and they fell on their knees and shouted
out their adoration. Later on the body
was cut Into pieces and distributed to
the more favored of the people, who
cooked and served it on their dining
tables as, the tidbit of the year.
Cannibalism Among the Astecs.
Prescott Is my authority that this was
the only kind of cannibalism that was
practiced by the Aztecs, and he jays
that the cannibal feasts were served up
in royal style. The cooking was done
by the best of culinary artists, and men
and women came together to discuss the
horrible menu.
Human sacrifices tegan In Mexico 200
or 900 years before the Spaniards lande'd,
and at ths time cf the conquest It has
been estimated that the annual sacrifices
ucre about 0,000. In addition to the
Teocall In Mexico City, there were pyra
mids and mounds In different parts of
the country and sacrifices increased In
number whenever drought, plagues or
other calamities came.
An Aatec God.
Tho Idol In whose honor much of tho
sacrificing took placo was tho god of
war and of bloodshed, whose chief rep
resentation Is here In the National mu
seum. This Is a block of stono nlno feet
In height covered with carving. It rep
resents a squatty figure with u great flat
head, out of the top of which peeps two
cylindrical eyes, above four llttlo horns
which servo as the noses. Thx mouth Is
largo and the head resta without a neck
on tho shoulders. This stutuo stood not
far from the sacrificial stone when Cor
tez, In company with King Montezuma,
first saw It. It was then covered with
gold and studded with Jewels. Golden
serpents were wound about its waist,
and a necklace of human heads and
hearts, life-size, made of gold and sil
ver, encircled the neck. Before It a pan
of Incense was. burning, and In this pan
the hearts of three human beings were
roasting. After the Spanlardu had con
quered, they tore off the gold, stiver and
Jewels. They threw down the statue,
and It was years later that It was
brought forth as an archeologlcal relic.
Mexico City Kvncuutlona.
The Mexicans of today are thoroughly'
alive to the aroheologlcal possibilities of
their own country. They are anxious to
have It explored, and have given con
cessions to foreigners to do much of the
work. Not a few have been given to
Americans connected with the Smith
sonian Institution and our societies of
archeology and they have made great
discoveries. The Mexicans themselves
have done a great deal. Their work be
gan with a viceroy who lived more than
100 years ago. He ordered that all the
relics dug up In Mexico City should be
sent to the university and from the
they came to the National museum. Max
mllllan was also Interested in such in
vestigations and Diaz encouraged them.
There Is no doubt but that a great many
interesting things still llo under the
Mexican capital. Every tbnt a new sewer
Is dug or a great foundation excavated
something new Is discovered. I have be
fore me a print made by Mr. Walte, the
American photographer, of a great atone
tiger which was unearthed a year or so
ago, and he tells me that he frequently
makes pictures of similar objects which
come from the drainage and sewer exca
vations. The sacrificial stone was found
buried near the southwest corner of the
catedral, and the Astee calendar stone,
which Is also in the museum, was orig
inally found under the earth In the great
plaza. When It was taken up the arch
bishop of Mexico feared that It might be
worshiped by tho Indians, and he or
dered that It be buried again. Later on It
was again excavated and cemented onto
th ebase of one of the cathedral towers,
where It remained until twenty-seven
years ago, at which time It was removed
to the museum.
Hoyt They Kept Time.
This calendar stone gives some idea of
the advanced civilization possessed by the
Aztecs. It was used as a sun dial and
calendar, and the hieroglyphics upon It
are supposed to represent the years,
months and days. The archeologists
disagree as to the exact meaning of some
of the ldlographs, but certain figures are
thought to correspond with the year A.
D. 1479 and others show that the ancient
Indians knew how to adjust their festi
vals by the movements of the heavenly
bodies. They were able to fix the lei gth
of the tropical year even better than the
philosophers of antiquity, and they had
means of settling the hours of the day
with precision and the times of the sols
tices and equinoxes.
This calendar stone originally weighed
about fifty tons, and the records show
that it came from over the mountains, a
distance of many leagues. The Aztecs
had neither horses nor oxen, and It must
have been carried by men.
Astco Clvlllcntlon.
This museum shows that the Aztecs
had a higher civilization than Is generally
supposed. They had their own literature.

Spaniards. They uses picture writings
and much of their science and customs
were committed ' to manuscript, many
rolls, of such manuscripts having been
burnt by the Spaniards. They knew
how to make paper, and they used cotton
clothing. They had fairs for the en
couragement of trade and agriculture,
and they were expert workers in metal.
Some of the articles carried to Spain by
Cortez were vessels (of gold, stiver and
copper, and among them some silver
basins so big that they could not be en
circled by the arms of a man. They made
dyes like tho- Tyrlan purple and they
wove cloth out of tho fur of rabbits.
They Were Illjth Liver.
The records show that the Aztecs ate
at tables, using silver and gold plates,
and that they had chafing dishes to keep
their meals warm. They had napkins
and finger bowls and they smoked ciga
rettes after dinner. They had good cooks
and ate all kinds of vegetables, fruits
and meats. Montezuma had fish brought
to him from the ocean over the moun
tains, a distance of 200 miles, by fast
runners and the Spaniards say that the
markets of the capital contained domes
tlo poultry, game from the mountains,
fish frm the lakes, fruits of the tem
perate and tropical zones and also green
vegetable. The market stalls were dec
orated with flowers, and the market
throng was so gTeat that It usually num
bered about 40,000. Cortez says the mul
titude was three times as great as that
ot the market at Salamanaca, and also
that the cloths, tapestry, etc., made him
think of the silk markets at Granada
One part of the market, was assigned
to the goldsmiths, another to toy peddlers
and another to pottery and the sellers of
copper and obsidian, ot which the rasora
and mirrors were made. There were also
drug shops, paper shops and places sell
ing biank books and maps.
As It Is now there are perhapa 12,000,-
man hath no better thing under the sun "Wlence
than to eat, drink and to be merry."
Th s Is the way the ancient Altec
pu'.u it:
Banish care! If there are bounds to
pleasure, the saddest Ufo must also have
an end. Then weave tho chnplct of flow
ers, sing thy songs In the praise ot tho
fill-powerful Ood, for tho glory of tho
world soon fadethi Hcjoice in tne green
freshness of thy spring, for the day will
come when thou shnlt sigh for these Joys
In vain; when tho scepter shall pass from
thy hand and tho sons of thy nobles
drink the dregs of distress. Yet, the re
membrance of tho Just shall nut pass
away from the nations and tho good thou
hast done shall ever bo held In honor.
The goods of this lite, Its glories and
riches, nro but tent to us. Its substance
Is but an Illusory shadow, and th things
ot today shall change on the morrow.
Then gather the flowers from thy gar
dens to bind round thy brows and seize
tho Joys of today."
This same man, like the Athenians of
the time of St. Tail), erected a temple to
tho unknown god. Ho was a sort of
Mexican David, and was like Solomon In
that ho loved beautiful women. With
other things he coveted tho wife ot otio
of his officers, and, even as David did to
Uriah, he put this officer In the front
ot the battle and thus took his widow to
wife. It Is not strange how the lines
of great lives, even though they be di
vided by ages of time and thousands ot
miles of water and land, and even by
worlds whtoh are unkonwn one to the
other, sometimes run side by side.
Death Comm to All.
This some man, who came of the race
which built many of the pyramids of
Mexico, had equally graphic Ideas of
death. I shall let one of his expressions
close this letter. It reads;
"The world Is nothing but a sepulcher,
and there la nothing that lives on Its sur
face that shall not be entombed beneath
It. The things of yesterday are no more
today, and the things of today shall
cease, perhaps, on the morrow. The
glories that have been have all passed
away like tho fearful smoke that tssuos
from the throat of Popocatepetl,- with no
other existence of a record than the page
of a chronicler,. The .great, the wise, tho
valiant and the beautiful! Alas, where
are they nowT That which has befallen
them shall happen to us and to those
that come after us. The horrors of the
tomb are but the cradle of the sun, and
the dark shadows ot death are brilliant
lights for the stars."
