Megalithic Mysteries - The Day of the Dead

Samhain, Halloween, Allhallowtide, Dia de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead), Zhongyuan Festival, All Saints Day, All Souls Day, Pchum Ben, Chuseok, Gaijatra... These are but a few of the festivals that are being celebrated around the world as I write this...  It is said across all of them that it is a time when the veil is thin between us and the afterlife...  It is a time when we should honour our dead.  How and Why is there celebrations across the globe which have such similarities? Is it an echo of a lost memory..?   Angus and I sat down after a bit of research and dug into this topic, enjoy.
