El Caminito del Rey (English: The King's little pathway) is a walkway, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Ardales in the province of Málaga, Spain. The name is often shortened to Camino del Rey (English: King's pathway). The walkway had fallen into disrepair and was partially closed for over a decade. After four years of extensive repairs and renovations, the walkway re-opened in 2015. It has been known in the past as the "world's most dangerous walkway" following five deaths in 1999 and 2000 ,, courtesy info wiki ,, picture courtesy youtravel.com

Table decorated with a petrified foot made as a gift for Napoleon III in 1866
Made as a gift for Napoleon III in 1866 by Italian naturalist and noted creep, Elfisio Marini, this is the kind of table that’s good for if you’re worried that your dinner guests have too much of an appetite. That’s because it was built with human remains.
All of the body’s greatest hits were used in the making of this supremely weird table, including petrified hearts, brains, livers, and lungs. Oh, and it was decorated with a petrified foot.

Aztec skull wall of Templo Mayor in Tenochtitlan (Mexico City) Sacrificial victims were usually war captives but children were also sacrificed as their tears were considered a favorable link with the life-giving raindrops from Tlaloc. The priests who carried out this carnage, on occasion, ate the flesh of the victims, with the heart being the most prized, if it had not already been burned in offering to the gods. The Aztec ruler, privileged nobles, and those who had captured the victims in war also participated in this symbolic feast.~ image courtesy Wolfgang Sauber, info courtesy http://www.ancient.eu/Templo_Mayor/
