墨西哥的阿兹特克人习惯大量展示敌人的头骨作为战利品。1 6世纪20年代,西班牙人的征服结束了这一风俗,但是观看死者,被称为“死者之日”的庆典依然延续至今。这个日子,在每个墨西哥城镇和乡村,人们都会陈列骨骼,这被当作是一个幸福的时刻,死者回到依然生活着的亲人中间。人们也可以参观墨西哥瓜纳华托镇上博物馆里陈列的自然形成的木乃伊,从而直面死亡。 The Aztecs in Mexico are accustomed to displaying large numbers of enemy skulls as trophies. The conquest of the Spanish ended the custom in the 1820s, but the celebration of the dead, known as the Day of the Dead, continues today. This day, in every Mexican town and country, people display skeletons, which are taken as a happy moment, and the dead return to the still-living relatives. People can also visit the naturally formed mummies on display at the Guanajuato Museum in Mexico to face the death.
