Today in my history class was actually one of the easier days in class this time, I am enrolled in world history honors with Ms. Sanchez, a pretty tough teacher but I really like her.
Now I will go to what we actually did in class today, first we were about to watch a movie wich would have made the day a lot easier but as soon as we started to play the movie we realized that we never finished the notes that we were taking in the last class, we got all thrown off track and behind because the aday class had 2 days in a row to get work done. Anyway we started to finish on our notes on some of the first ancient civilizations like the Mayans and the Incas and things of that nature. We started to talk about the religions of these early civilizations and I learned some pretty disturbing things, I learned that the Incas would sacrifice living human people for when they thought that the sun needed to refuel on blood. What they would do is make a person (most of the time a slave) walk up to the top of a huge pyramid and put there legs up on one bench and there head on another bench laying across them as if they were laying on a bed. Then a couple of incant warriors would hold the person down, one warrior would take a sharp knife made of iron, and cut rite up underneath the rib cage, stick there hand under the rib cage, grab the heart of the victim and snatch it out with one hard pull. This made my mind go crazy that things like this happened but there is even more. When the Incan warriors were done pulling out the heart they would cut off the head, then roll the body down that huge flight of stairs with blood flying everywhere with each impact, then the next victim would walk rite up the same stairs, waiting to be sacrificed.
After all that Ms. Sanchez gave us a long homework assignment and I was on my way to lunch. That Is what I did today in my history class.
it was kinda good we didnt watch da movies cuz some of da notes were interestin actually =]
