This volume, the fifth in the 501 Law series, offers another 100 laws on various topics, ranging from barbarism to beyondism. The Aztec volume captures the dynamic tension between the creation script and human civilization. Humans fight animals, nature, and among themselves. But they create beautiful cultures and civilizations. The Aztecs sacrificed humans to please gods they trusted and worshipped. Pleasing gods or a single God is a notable human impulse. The Aztecs also built pyramids, sophisticated engineering structures, and aqueducts to harness swamps and waters. They battled the conquistadors, who did not think highly of the Aztecs. The killings were ferocious on both sides, even though the Aztecs carried the cross to the Mount. The human civilization is progressing toward leaving the Earth and discovering something more powerful than the human brain.
