The Knife, Sacrifice and Meaning

Hi Vandoo,
I was wondering about the two mace heads you posted and the knife shown by Tim. I understand that most, if not all, pre-Colombian American weapons were carved from stone...what other sorts of weapons did Aztecs, Maya and Incas have? I imagine a whole range of clubs were used...

I have the impression that talk of cannibalism is taboo in most western cultures. There's something about it that crosses the line of imfamy I guess.
