[catalyzt]

the pics are maybe out of order?
that first one looks like the end
its like the head and rib cage
any info on why he was documented cutting this old guy up?
also looks like two different guys messing with the body

I'm guessing this is for a sky burial. They cut up the body and let the vultures eat it.

[mrsmooney]

Hmmm..
What in the name of God? (If god even exists.. not so sure about that ...)
Poor old man! What the hell is happening there..?

[taskiteplease]

this is just their way of honoring the dead, they recycle them. its only weird t us because we re not used to it. so get over it

Yes, both of you are correct. It is in their culture to honor their passed-away edlers in that region. By doing so they believe their passed-aways could enter heaven. Come to think of it, except the part of actually having to do it yourself to your elder family members; I personally think sky burial is environmentally friendly. For you information, weeks later their youngs will reclaim the remaining bones from high lands. Interesting enough, in west we believe in dust to dust and earth to earth, they also share similar philosophy.
