The underworld and the reversal of order

Room 5, Vitrine 37

• When the dead awaken and ascend to the earthly world (Kay Pacha), and the deity passes from the celestial world (Hanan Pacha) to the underworld (Uku Pacha), anal penetration is practiced, in response to this reversal of order.
• The dead rise from their tombs, play music, dance, and assist the deity in crossing from the earthly world to the underworld, pushing his head and pulling his feet.
