#6 Hard to fathom and a sign of how very removed we are from those people and they us.

I have seen ritual human sacrifice anthropologically described as a means of attaining and securing social and psychic cohesion within a community.

That theory further necessitates not only regularity of these rituals but the quality of victims. They needed to be the beautiful or handsome, strong and non-afflicted.

The effect being that when they are brought forward the crowd in turn gasps at the horror. Because without retaining multiple dimensions of horror profound enough to overwhelm the individual personality in the moment, the sacrifice will be not serve it's political and social purposes.

#10 I have to admit, that is new and interesting.

Seems that the various ways of human sacrifice is a worldwide human condition, and there are plenty of works in humanities dealing with positions of power, feeling precarious, using the various forms of human sacrifice as a way to solidify their position and at the same time try and confuse/demoralize opposition.
