At the time of the Spanish invasion, the warrior civilization of these races
showed a characteristic degeneration in the direction of a special and sinister version
of Dionysism, which may be called frenzy of blood. The themes of holy war and heroic
death as a sacrifice that confers immortality, which were found among the Aztecs
as well as among northern European stocks or Arab people, in Central and South
American civilizations were mixed with some kind of frenzy of human sacrifices;
these sacrifices, even in the form of collective slaughters, were performed in order to
maintain contact with the divine but with a dark, fierce exaltation derived from destroying
life, the likeness of which is to be found nowhere else in the world.
