Experience a fascinating journey through humanity's diverse approaches to death and mortality across cultures and time. From ancient Egyptian mummification to Mexico's vibrant Día de los Muertos, this episode explores how different societies honor their dead, process grief, and understand the afterlife. We examine traditional practices, religious beliefs, and modern adaptations, revealing how our approaches to death reflect our values, spirituality, and cultural identity. The exploration spans continents and centuries, weaving together insights from ancestral worship in East Asia to Viking ship burials, while also considering how contemporary societies are adapting these age-old traditions for the modern world.
