Reply to comment by jrex703 in TIL that in 300 B.C. turkeys were viewed by the Maya as vessels of the gods and honored accordingly also were originally domesticated to play a part in religious rites. by cristianmonroy

Well the TILs and their titles isn’t everything. Each one comes with a link to a source. Examine the source not just a Reddit title.

Obviously, I was being disparaging of History.com. And really there isn't much more information included in the article than there is in the title.

The only source regarding turkeys doesn't work, then it just drivels off into a discussion of Mayan population levels. It's a word-count filler piece, not an educational resource.
