The site is a little too lurid to me. I find it hard to
believe the human sacrifice story. I don't think it was
too common in those times. But I would agree that
warfare was very common in those times. Otherwise the
pics are good and the the battle scene is quite
interesting. I would prefer the Kane scenes of ancient
Hawaii, because of the great diversity in the details
of the scene. I think that the Tiki is less of a totem
pole and more of a statue. Another nitpicky thing I
guess, is that the word is "caste" not "chaste".
