Aztec Afterlife

The Aztecs believed in the afterlife. After they died, they believed they would be assigned a job to help their gods to perform a certain task. The job assigned to them was not based of of how their life was set, but of how they died. 

For example:

Warriors who died in war became butterflies and hummingbirds. 

People who died of natural causes had unpleasant afterlife jobs. They would serve the Lord of the dead.

Woman who died in childbirth were supposed to help the Sun god. 

People who died from lighting, drowning and some diseases were believed to have been chosen to serve the rain and storm God. These people lived their afterlife in flowers.
