RE: Is The "Conquista" we Know True?
No, these prisoners were supposed to be followers of other Gods (supposedly the Aztecs played war games with tribes around their area of influence with the sole purpose of getting prisoners for their sacrifices), so I don't think they would have been too keen to be sacrificed to a God that wasn't one of theirs.
Until they were shown how the new God blacked out the sun. I can't remember which one, but one of them used a solar eclipse to fool them into following the new more powerful god.

I don't really think you would have 80,000 willing prisoners, but even if they did have them, do you think it would have been possible to sacrifice 20,000 people a day? That comes out to 833 people per hour if the priests worked 24/7, and how long does it take to kill a person in a sacrifice? I would think they would have at least some ritual for each kill. Better said I believe this is a lie, just made so Europeans would believe the same lie that has been perpetuated, that they in reality came here to enlighten the natives.
