The Craziest Rituals People Died For

Humans once held some wild, deadly, and straight-up dumb ancient beliefs. In this episode, we animated five real rituals that were so dumb, so deadly, and so confidently followed… people actually died for them.

Flawed logic at its finest.

We’ve got:

– Aztecs, who thought the sun god Huitzilopochtli needed human hearts to live.
– Hawaiians, who tried calming there volcano goddess Pele by tossing people into lava.
– Incas, who sent kids up to see there mountain god Apu to freeze to death.
– Maori, who sacrificed prisoners because “Tane doesn’t work for free.”
– Khonds, who literally beat their annual sacrifice like a piñata for better crops.

It's dark, it's stupid, and it’s 100% real history… animated in the most disrespectful way possible.
