an other myth-- for the most part they sacraficed young men. i wonder where the "sacrafical young virgin" myth arose. some time not to far back i suspect. just another way to restrict women..

almost all cultures that had human sacrifice, used healthy young males. (all the better for the old, rich, powerful priests, princes and rulers to get the young virginal women into their own beds!)

from a biological point of view, you never want to kill of your young women.. but young men are much more expendable.

more boys are concieved, and more boys are born-- but by young adulthood, there is a shift.. and there are more woman than men (of the same age) but in cultures where men could and did have multiple wives, there was still an excess of men.. Food for the gods!
