Re: Sky Burial, ?Tibet
Seen a documentary on this, where they live the ground is too hard to dig and they live way up in the mountains. A special preacher comes and he is paid to dismember the bodies and give the flesh and meaty bits as offerings to the birds. |

Re: Sky Burial, ?Tibet
You're exactly right We have a few sky burial threads on here. The dead are sort of 'recycled', eaten by birds of prey mainly. Good method for the terrain where these people live.
