Detailed explanation-1: -The Aztecs also strongly believed in many levels of heaven and the underworld. If you were to die by drowning, you would end up in the underworld, if you were to die in battle, you would reach the highest of the heavens.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Aztecs believed in a number of levels of heaven and the underworld. Depending on how you died would determine where you went. Those who died in battle would go to the top level of heaven. Those who drowned would go to the underworld.
Detailed explanation-3: -After death, the soul of the Aztec went to one of three places: the sun, Mictlan, or Tlalocan. Souls of fallen warriors and women that died in childbirth would transform into hummingbirds that followed the sun on its journey through the sky. Souls of people who died from less glorious causes would go to Mictlan.
