Human sacrifices is one of the traditional beliefs of many ancient civilization. In my previous article "Weigle's Types of Creation Myths - Part II", I have mentioned that in other Mythology, believe that the world was once created by the form of human sacrifices;

god sacrifice one's body in order to build a new creation, some are buried alive, killed to sacrifice the blood and cut one's body to offer.

If you want to read more about how the world was created in terms of Mythology, hopefully my piece can give you some idea.

By the way, my purpose here is to share a story and a bit of information. Still, if you want something to add or clarify, just let me know.

Have you heard stories that a bridge, a tourist destination or any establishments are made through the process of human sacrifices?

Way back years ago; It was a normal day, me and my classmate was having chitchats until he lower his voice and said "I have secret to tell you." Since it's a kind of interesting to know a secret then I asked him what it is. He stated the our school was build through human sacrifices, that the founder use someone's blood in order to strengthen the foundation of the school. I am just laughing listening to his story, as I know this kind of act is real but centuries ago, in todays I am confident that no one still do this practices.

The next day, since there's no class, I chatted him to ask where did he get the story. He replied that his cousin is an old teacher in our school. They found out that in order to maintain the agreement of human sacrifices, they must sacrifice one student every after 10 years. This became real as they observe that in every 10 years there's a one student missing. Added to his cousin, the founder choose the student through placing all the student's name and the name that will appear is the unlucky one.

My friend also stated some points for me to observe. One of it is, there's no sign of any religious things inside our campus. And also, we never conduct mass inside the campus. I've been studied in five different schools and four of it conduct a monthly mass; there's room for Christians and Muslim. Only one school didn't do this, and that is what I am referring to.

Honestly, the first time I enter the school with my friends is during enrollment period. It was a gloomy morning, not so much people inside. And the first thing I said when we sit in the school's bench is "Why this place looks cemetery?", I really said this because the formation of their pots are like tombs. It was like you're in a village, because the rooms are not arranged in an organized way. There's a big building, just it's looks creepy because only few students, it is quiet, and it's paint is already dirty white.

No matter what will be the truth behind that school's foundation, whether the story is real or not, I am confident that I'm secured. My faith is bigger than this.


Aside from this story, I would like to share one of my favorite ancient tourists' spot, Chichen Itza by Mayan Civilization.

Mayans are highly advanced and intelligent civilization, especially in terms of astrology, architecture and numerical system.

Just like other civilizations, Mayans also believed in god and goddess, and sacrificing someone's human body is sacred for them, and to perform this act they have this Chichen Itza as their power house. In some ways they do the act of sacrifices by laying down a person, where his eyes looking up in the sky, they will cut his chest and remove one's beating heart. On the other side, they have sacrifices in the form or painting blue color to someone's body before throwing into the well, or after they paint the body they will put some marks like in head and chest, and after shoot them using arrow.

There's a lot of form of sacrifices, not only about life or human sacrifices. We can have some sacrifices in love, education, work, decision making, etc; just make sure, that decision or person/s is worth sacrificing for.

I almost forgotten this story about sacrifice when new bridge were constructed. Actually I don't have any knowledge about thats possibility but I have heared a lot about these things in my childhood. And I also got feared of that so almost stopped moving around in the city alone. Yeah there are sacrifices in life in different things but it can not be a life for sacrificing.

Old rituals and belief, these sacrifices are connected with it. They thought that they were making happy to their gods. Ancient people have strange believes.

Yeah, that is their misconception. Just like this Mayan they sacrifice these people as they think that their gods will be happy for it.

Hmm, I have heard so many stories about this one also. I'm working in a mall for a few years now and stories about blood of human sacrifice is not a shocker. Still, I hope they're not true though. A person's life is sacred and shouldn't be used as a sacrifice for any personal gains.

I also heard stories about creepy sacrifices to build a mall. They do it for an easy success, now the mall is already close. And yes, it should be treasured.

I've also read about the Mayans, which are very thick with rituals and offerings, even many researchers and cultural experts often take samples of life and even some time ago it was filled with the world's apocalypse following the end date of the Mayans.

They found some artifacts and human bones which sets as an evidence that they do rituals and human sacrifices before.

Human sacrifices are not new to Filipino culture, we believe that the bridges, schools and other establishments was conducted with rituals in which human blood is being wipe to foundations of the establishment in order to make it strong. Cults and dark religious groups are conducting human sacrificing in order for them to be blesses by their God. It's very creepy and alarming since it's been used by serial killers to cover their murders to kill innocent people and made them as sacrifice.

Indeed. Besides, I also consider this serial killers as cults, what they did represents evil work.

How can blood strengthen the pillars and foundation of the building? We can blame those people who aren't oriented with science and technology. Ancient people, some of them are believing sacrifices I think if they will do that they make themselves ease.

It's not really about the blood, but about their agreement with the evil. That this demon will protect the building as an exchange of soul.

I also think of that because where it came from, because that concept isn't came from above but it came from devil's concept. I think when said about blood it is a figure of speech which bestows deep and another meaning.

I've also read about a lot of monuments, which are built on human sacrifices, and that's really horrible. As you said, we can make sacrifices in different ways today, just wish the person we are sacrificing for, was worth it.
