[SPOILER] Plot Discussion Thread *Spoiler Alert*

[Alardem]

Occam's razor: You're explicitly told that you sacrificed your children on the temple steps, they pull their hearts out in mockery of Aztec sacrificial rituals, and some sort of tragedy occurred during Mandus' visit to the ruins.

There's pretty much NOTHING to go on with this stuff about amputation, or Mandus getting a cyborg foot. If you want to run with this theory, I can just as well say that Mandus is also an alien from the future.
