Due to their beliefs in the afterlife, the ancient Huastecas buried their deceased with offerings that would help them reach the underworld. A reconstruction of the Tierra Alta burial, found intact with its offerings in the colonia of the same name in Tampico, is displayed here. As in many other cultures, death in the Huasteca did not signify an end but a transformation, a passage to another world: the Tamezlab, or land of the dead. The deceased could return to live with the living during two key moments: Carnival and Xantolo, or Day of the Dead. This section includes recreations of burials found in the Huasteca and the beautiful adornments that accompanied them, such as vessels representing underworld beings and sculptures of figures related to the Tamezlab.
