By looking at a bunch of bones you know that they were sacrificed to Quetzalcoatl for their tears and if they didn't cry they got their nails removed so that it would rain and it was an everyday thing despite only 42 remains being found?

Don't forget some were sacrificed to three other gods as well. Guess it just depends on how they were dissected as to which god you're sacrificed too ..
You could assume who they were sacrificed to based on where they were buried. If only children that didn't have other painful ailments had their finger nails removed you can assume long term pain has a part in the sacrifice. The nature of each god is known. So the only big leap is assuming leeching water from kids would please the god that can leech water from the sky.
Depends on the condition of the grave they were in. If there was any sort of preservation, the fingernails and hair will be intact and shouldn't be missing.
You can't go digging or asking questions in Auschwitz... but you can do digging in Mexico and archaeologists are finding caves full of bodies all the time. The pre-Columbian civilizations also had writing systems and many of the texts describe the human sacrifices. Unlike the holocaust, all the facts here are consistent with one another: European witnesses, written records, human remains, artifacts...
If you dig around Europe you'll also find places full of bodies. Usually they are known as graveyards. All I'm saying is that the screenshot doesn't mention anything that supports its wild allegations.
The Viceroyals of Spain tasked with the settlement of La Gran Chichimeca believed guerilla and mercenary tactics beneath their heritage and thus attempted to convert the savages via missionary expeditions, agricultural technologies and gold. When all else failed, they eventually relented and (unbeknownst to the crown) employed murderers for hire to meet the utter brutality of the Guachichiles as a turning of the cheek, so to speak — charity and goodwill in one hand, complicity to murder in the other.
This history, unacknowledged by the monarchs of Spain, was the only way to achieve any semblance of peace in the area, which, when combined with generational intermarriage, resulted in the peoples still closely admixed in the region today.
Always remind the lefty latino espousing the “muh colonization” line that mass human sacrifice and slavery were practiced in all the so called civilized tribes of the americas. Incans, Mayans, Aztecs, Toltecs, Olmecs, Mississippians and others practiced child sacrifice and the spanish ended it.
An anthropology school called the psychohistorians (who are a sort of leftwing freudian group) have documented alot of child abuse and infantacide in various cultures (to support their freudian hypothesis) and they have tended to be more objective about child killing and other child abuse in primitive cultures, without apologizing for native practices as mainstream anthropology tends to do. They have done some good work recording the atrocities of the “noble savage” even though some of their conclusions are wacky.
And they get mad that Columbus came along and told them "Your god demands you give me wood to fix my ship." Yo, that was the only way to get these people to do anything.

Yes. So sad that European colonialists spread their influence and their Christian religion around the world in places like Mexico, ending the traditional culture of people like the Aztecs
There must be another explanation. I suspect these people required brutality as a fundamental part of their life. These rituals were an outlet that gave a controlled outlet for their savage instincts and enabled civilization. Similar to how our media uses rage bait to make us waste energy hating inconsequential things and not the jews fucking us over.
The Aztec people are savages. Only slightly better than niggers. To them child sacrifice appeased their proclivity to violence and enabled civilization. They're still sub human and giving them christianity or European philosophy isn't going to fix that.
