Comment on Aztecs by Inga Clendinnen: Disorienting and nauseating as cosmic horror itself

Comments

It's late at night here, I'm in bed, but that second paragraph hooked me on this essay like a moth to a flame and I already told myself the book is probably much better and I should get it, yet I keep reading it.

Little trivia, but Path of Exile 2 (videogame) has a map that's quite inspired by Aztecs and one recent reminder I had of their brutality was precisely running through this level called Aggorat and witnessing the mesmerizing gore surrounding everything.
