I think skinning children alive automatically disqualifies them from being utterly lovable. I can't think of many worse ways to die than being skinned alive.

The Aztec's once sacrificed over 80,000 people in the span of four days, to consecrate their pyramid.

They're methods of doing so ranged from ripping people's hearts out, to impaling them with arrows like a human pincushion deliberately non fatally so they would bleed out, to repeatedly dragging and throwing them onto a pyre.

Yeah they were worse than the Mayan's on that front.
