Death is a topic that many do not want to talk about, maybe because we do not know much about it, most of us if not all are even scared of it. But many cultures celebrate it and even look towards it, since it is the portal to the after life, as Plato put it 'The World of Ideas'. The Egyptians built enormous pyramids with outstanding hieroglyphs to celebrate the afterlife and prepare the deceased.
The colourful cemetery in Chichicastenango, Guatemala is another example of celebrating life, making it probably the only cemetery which one would be interested to visit.
