This is the core of the ancient Atlantean and Egyptian religions; hence the apparent over-emphasis on death, the almost morbid interest, even today, in South America, in the trappings of death.

These people live closely with death through no fault of their own. It is largely because of non-distribution of the food and modern medical knowledge that their children die. (en) |
