what other civiliazations has a similar belief to the egypts fascination with death?

Answer 1

Incas were pretty far along... The Sun Temple at Cuzco housed a golden image of Inti, the sun god, that looked like the sun. Facing the image stood the mummified remains of dead kings.

Aztecs not only mummified their dead kings, but built tem palaces, assigned them servants, and displayed the mummies in public during celebrations.

Medieval Europe had quite a bit of it, too, especially when it came to the remains of saints.

Answer 2

In ancient Rome no generally accepted view on an afterlife existed, but there was a long-lasting and widely held view that the dead lived on in their tombs and could influence the fortunes of the living in a vague, undefined way, and so offerings were regularly made to them. Gifts were brought to the tomb, libations were poured for the dead and in some instances graves were provided with pipes so that wine could be poured into the burial itself. Although only a few instances of such pipe burials are known (both cremation and inhumation), it is possible that they were quite common. Holding celebrations at the tombs was also thought to appease the spirits of the dead.
