in the late 19th century, resurrected aztec mummies replaced their egyptian counterparts in popular american stories such as "the squaw hollow sensation", which appeared in 1879 and told the story of "the discovery and revival of a 1000-year-old aztec mummy". aztec mummy-themed stories continued in american novels, films, comic books, and television throughout the 20th century and into the 21st century. notable examples include fictional confrontations between aztec mummies and the lone ranger (comic book), (television), and mil mascaras vs. the aztec mummy (film).
