    rather than glee

    Well… there is absolutely no reason for glee in this ceremony if one understands the bare basics.

    I agree with most of what you say, but to my eye those are some very weird-looking “Aztecs,” almost as if they were being depicted as Africans for some reason. And not exactly handsome ones, at that. No, this and this (etc) are much closer to what I’d expect them to look like, not unlike their modern descendants.

    What you suggest might be true, but the depiction still reeks to me of agenda.
