The Norse only rarely sacrificed humans. The Aztecs did it on an industrial scale. And they inflicted as much pain as possible on young children before murdering them.

>Many of the children suffered from serious injuries before their death, they would have to have been in significant pain as Tlaloc required the tears of the young as part of the sacrifice. The priests made the children cry during their way to immolation: a good omen that Tlaloc would wet the earth in the raining season.
