The Mayan rituals are like nothing anyone has ever seen, or most haven’t had the pleasure to experience. Mayan’s believed in the higher power, and they never questioned if there was anything that they needed to change to or if they went too far when it came to appeasing one’s god, with that in mind the “axiom”, was in their minds and that's is how most of the Mayan rituals were created. Mayan’s had religious beliefs, and those beliefs led them to sacrifice and appease their god. The rituals were an essential part of their livelihood, where they not only build a culture around, but created a civilization that changed life as we know it. The simple existence of the Mayan’s bloodletting in their rituals were so major in their lives that some refer to it as the following: “(much like Christian baptism, communion and marriage) and Mayan Human Sacrifices (as well as animal) were common occurrences.”
