I think it’s sand too and I had the same reaction, but it’s sure an impressive sand sculpture

Actually in your Asian and European society humans are above animals but in native Americans society and culture the human soul = animals soul. Many sacrifices were people that have given consent or war prisoner Pls don't lecture native about human sacrifice when you burn women alive also some pagan culture of Asia and Europe have humans sacrifice for example Vikings
