Aztec Sacrifices
The Aztec people essentially killed themselves off by performing an absurd number of human sacrifices that would leave the average person's head spinning. Archaeologists found the remains of thousands of people and animals beneath 2000 years of aging rubble. Only skeletons remained, but it was clear that these bodies underwent severe amounts of trauma before they were "disposed of." Most of the subjects were dismembered and decapitated.
