The Aztec civilization
mexico started the day of the dead in honor of their ancestors
The four major Mesoamerican civilizations were the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, and Zapotec. The Olmec civilization was primarily located in the Gulf Coast region of present-day Mexico, while the Maya civilization spanned southeastern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and parts of Honduras and El Salvador. The Aztec civilization was centered in the Valley of Mexico, particularly around present-day Mexico City. The Zapotec civilization was mainly located in the Oaxaca Valley in southern Mexico.
The day of the dead is a celebration like halloween in Mexico. The Day Of The Dead is where everyone celebrates for the people that have passed on into another demintion. They aren't afraid of death. They're accually excited for it.
I think the Mexicans got it started
Early modern day civilization is the period classified between 1500 and 1800. It started with the European expansion into colonies and when science started to gain ground.

day of the dead lasts two days the first day is to remember the dead children and the second day is to remember the dead adults. back when day of the dead first started it would last three months

In the state of Michoacan, and in Tenochtitlan, Mexico City.
