...meow...(...I like the depiction of Dia de los muertos in this video - the "post - conquest" view. The original and predecessor to the thought and idea of Dia de los muertos can be found within the Florentine Codex, the images within the codex depict the original belief of "what a persons time is for on this earth" but again the Mexica, also known as Aztecs, utilized force to control criminals and criminals were the examples of "right & wrong behavior"...)
