Mythological background
Mictlán was one of four places where the dead go upon death. Ilhuuicatl-Tonatiuh being reserved for those who died in battle or childbirth, Tlalocán for those who died of water related deaths, Chichihuacuauhco reserved for children, Mictlán was the destination of those who died any other way. It was described as a long an perilous journey through the 9 layers of the underworld, and it was said that the voyage lasted four years. The dead would be accompanied by a dog companion that would help them get through the trials. As such, the Aztecs would raise dogs that they would then bury with their dead.
