Plenty of premodern societies did not have prisons as modern prison systems can only be run by modern industrial societies who had the resources and organizational infrastructur for them. In premodern times, the only time you get to see a cell is if you were 1) held for ransom or 2) awaited trial after being accused of a crime. Afterwards you got sentenced and punishments were either fines, enslavement, exile, corporal punishment, and assorted forms of execution.
I mean TBF, they didn't literally do that all the time as an entire culture, just an edge case that was written down as _sometimes some parents did this to their kids._ I mean, you wouldn't say that The West as a whole has a culture/custom of doing incest, right - even if there are cases of incestuous relationships in The West to this day?
Or they didn't care if you got drunk after 70 because of how few people made it to 70 years. Plus, surviving to the age of 70 was pretty common in Europe, assuming you made it past the age of 5 or so. Low life expectancy came primarily from childhood mortality, not the general conditions

They ritually made blood sacrifices, perforating their ears, tongue, pennis and other parts, the objective was to make the body and spirit strong though sacrifices to the gods, usually their own blood.
The Aztecs were so savage, that the Mayans and the rest of the surrounding South American tribes, actually joined the Spanish's Conquistadores to take them out once and for all
@@CalebEkeskinda like in Spain if you were a Jew that was a crime and they would torture you . If you were Muslim you were outright killed no conversion option either .

It would likely require witnesses trusted by the community, which might be hard to find witnesses to catch adulterers in the act, so it would likely be hard to accuse someone of cheating. This is all assuming they actually cared about verifying the claims.

The empire itself only lasted 93 years. USA has lasted 2.7x as long and mexico 2.1x as long. It wouldve been a crazy ride for a 70 year old. Youd see it in its early days, watch it go to full swing, and then watch it all crumble. If europeans had landed just a few decades later then they probably would've come across a region post revolution. That empire was way too crazy to last long. Everyone else under their heel was looking for an opportunity to rise up. The spanish arrived at the perfect time to take advantage of that
@@TheBacknblack92 actually for 200 years, but these punishments could have definitely predated the actual empire itself. its not like in the mid 1300s these people spawned out of nowhere and created the Aztec empire. more likely, it was a bunch of city-states with really similar culture that was united under a conqueror from one of them and then made himself the emperor and head of religion.
I believe there was another form of execution for POW's where you were tied to a post and given a simple wooden club, and then matched up in a fight to the death against a well rested, well fed Aztec warrior armed with a shield and a macahuital (a club with a sword like edge made by fixing shards of obsidian along the length). You had very slim odds, but maybe you could at least break his nose or something first, and you'd go down swinging.
There were a lot of methods of execution for POWsz they got creative with that. They did not see anyone outside of the empire as human had no problem making spectacles out of executing them, and wasn’t uncommon for competitions to see who could put do the others.
Also if you won, I believe they would give you your freedom because killing a jaguar warrior or eagle warrior in a 1v1 with odds stacked against you was a great feat.

The Aztecs: “so you’ve chosen death.”
*Exists in Aztecian empire*
*sacrificed*
More like so you have chosen being beaten with a stick painted red for exactly 15 minutes and 5 seconds before all of your organs are to be ripped out of your chest and transplanted into a brick and the brick will stay inside of your mom's walls for four years before it is put on a raft and shipped out to Brazil
To be fair... besides for the sacrifices not too dissimilar from Europe
Dog they did human sacrifice but not for small petty crimes my man did you hear the video , murder. And war captives as well

That would really backfire hard,they could do anything to you and you couldn't do anything about it. The only way this wouldn't backfire is if that person somewhat respected you or cared for you a lot,which we both know that would be near 0.

It's probably a societal response to STDs, like the reasoning might be moral but a tribe that practiced monogamy might survive a bought of syphilis better than one that doesn't so it sticks.
And all the punishments were directed towards the cheating wives. Deadbeats and cheating husband were ignored.

Cheating on your partner was legit 👍🏼
Imagine gettinf lied on by your partner
Only because getting paid and given something better
Well that would be horrific
It would likely require witnesses trusted by the community, which might be hard to find witnesses to catch adulterers in the act, so it would likely be hard to accuse someone of cheating. This is all assuming they actually cared about verifying the claims.
@@Rahat2056Seeing how women were treated in these times, a man could probably make the claim and they would belive him while a woman would need evidence. If it even was forbidden for a man to do it.
@@brotbrotsen1100 Yeah. Such a man is not of good character. So it is very important for the people in judicial positions back then to be good judges of character, impartial to people's status in society. Corruption sucks.

Imagine surviving 70 years in such an empire, it would have been a wild ride
The empire itself only lasted 93 years. USA has lasted 2.7x as long and mexico 2.1x as long. It wouldve been a crazy ride for a 70 year old. Youd see it in its early days, watch it go to full swing, and then watch it all crumble. If europeans had landed just a few decades later then they probably would've come across a region post revolution. That empire was way too crazy to last long. Everyone else under their heel was looking for an opportunity to rise up. The spanish arrived at the perfect time to take advantage of that
Not that hard. Just don't break the law
Definitely, imagine all the cool wars there was
@@TheBacknblack92 actually for 200 years, but these punishments could have definitely predated the actual empire itself. its not like in the mid 1300s these people spawned out of nowhere and created the Aztec empire. more likely, it was a bunch of city-states with really similar culture that was united under a conqueror from one of them and then made himself the emperor and head of religion.
Crimes a crime

Imagine drinking and passing out only to wake up bald and your house burnt to a crisp.
I believe there was another form of execution for POW's where you were tied to a post and given a simple wooden club, and then matched up in a fight to the death against a well rested, well fed Aztec warrior armed with a shield and a macahuital (a club with a sword like edge made by fixing shards of obsidian along the length). You had very slim odds, but maybe you could at least break his nose or something first, and you'd go down swinging.
There were a lot of methods of execution for POWsz they got creative with that. They did not see anyone outside of the empire as human had no problem making spectacles out of executing them, and wasn’t uncommon for competitions to see who could put do the others.
Also if you won, I believe they would give you your freedom because killing a jaguar warrior or eagle warrior in a 1v1 with odds stacked against you was a great feat.
@@cappuccinosnephew1382You sure they don't sacrifice you to a god instead? Seems like a pretty good sacrifice.
It's either this one or another execution/sacrifice, but I remember it being not a wooden club but simply a bundle of feathers
