Mexico City was founded by the Aztecs who are noted for their blood thirsty ways. The patron god of Mexico City was
Huitzilopochtli, the blood thirsty god of war for whom 'captives and slaves were brought forth and slain ceremoniously'

Ancient cannibals used chillies and spices to 'marinate' their victims - and the exotic ingredients stained human BONES

Experts studied bone fragments of victims found at Tlatelcomila, Mexico

Fragments are stained a distinctive red and yellow colour

Researchers say this is because of cooking techniques and the spices used in the cooking of human flesh before it was boiled in salty water

Spices used included saffron-like annatto, pipián, which is still found in mole sauce, and chilli peppers - which stained bones yellow

A gruesome recipe has been uncovered that explains how ancient cannibals prepared their human meals.

Researchers have found that people living near what is now Mexico City, 2,500 years ago, grilled or boiled human flesh before seasoning it with chillies and saffron-like spices such as annatto.

They were able to discern this by studying the colouration of the bones, which had been permanently stained with the exotic spices.
