If memory serves me right, the mexican one, isn’t really mexican, even the cult was created by an immigrant… And adopted by the narcos as a way to have some fixation on a divinity that would protect them while they do crimes.

You’d have to check the different pantheons of our history since there could be multiple gods of death (or entities that act like a grim reaper).

The Mayan deities were all God/Goddess of X and Death.

Practically… Yeah, lol.
But I meant non of them were depicted as the one in the picture, which is the Santa Muerte and there were many other cultures with their own entities besides the Mayans
