Chapter 42 (Ritual Use of Skulls in Ancient Peru)

I recently attended a scientific (paleontological) presentation on ancient Peruvian (Andean) civilizations at the Gray Fossil Museum in Tennessee. The reality of the ritual human sacrifice practiced by the cultures of the day was far more gruesome than could ever be depicted in a book.

The Burn Rose: Pirates to Privateers

In Chapter 41, the Burn Rose Pirates exhume the Oak Island Treasure, buried on behalf of Hernán Cortés. In Chapter 42, we learn about the body contained within the treasure chest. The ancient Egyptian wizard priest, Adjo, revives from 200 years of hibernation. He recalls his arrival in Peru from Egypt some 4,000 years before Cortés arrived in Mexico. The priest raised human sacrifice to a macabre routine! The details are graphic.

The sacrificial practices and the ritual use of skulls described in Chapter 42 approximate real history. Of the 69 chapters, this is the most horrific.
