They deformed their skulls to look like ayylmaos. Actually, several pre-hispanic americans did.

Mayans also loved to pierce their tongues and penises to feed their gods with the blood.

They were weird as fuck but I love them. Especially in the Classical period their art and architecture were amazing.

It's too bad people tend to just dismiss them as stone age savages. Considering Mesoamerican civilization began around 1000 BC, Classical Mayan civilization is basically equivalent with New Kingdom Egypt or the Minoans in Eurasia. The Mayans were easily more impressive than either of those in terms of culture, even if their technology was less advanced.

Call me gay but I find the aesthetics of Peruvian and Mesoamerican civilizations to be the most beautiful art in the world. Something about it just fills me with wonder and dread.

Impressive, considering that it developed in isolation, brutal and bloody as fuck though.
