Being of royal blood or a leader of ancient cultures was no walk in the park. Most of the religious rites centered around mutilations,bloodletting,circumcisions,and let's not forget human sacrifices. The Mayans were big on bloodletting for most all important occasions,and the preferred area was the genitals (imagine if you will!). Along with bloodletting they fasted,smoked and had ritual enemas in pursuit of a trance like state and visions, in hope of communicating with the gods or lost ancestors. Any questions on why some of these civilizations died out?? Once again,I will take a pass and take my chances with my own beliefs.
