He never "sacrifed" shit.
He tested the gods to see if they truly know everything

They never developed "away" from it. There are plenty of historical documents detailing how the Greeks would perform human sacrifices before battles to appease the gods of the underworld.
Even up to Roman times, it was said that they buried a man and a woman alive before engaging in the Battle of Cannae

And of course, we have the Sibylline Books which does speak of the necessity of human sacrifices in times of great distress

Other way around
Acts of self-mummification was *glorified* first.
They call for practitioners to do it and they celebrate it as a step towards enlightenment
The fact that some wanted to have the glory without the sacrifice is irrelevant.
Their culture upholds suicide via starvation as a virtue to uphold and THAT. IS. VILE

Hitobashira. China had no name for burying people alive but their Lingchi torture was done specifically to prevent the person from being whole in the afterlife.

And lastly, before you try and say anything about God, please do not forget to look at Jesus first
He already came in the flesh. No need to make assumptions over his nature
