So they place a corpse near a place where there are a lot of birds and let them pick the flesh from their bones? Well I guess thats one easy way to get rid of a body without burying it or burning it.
Sounds like a major plague waiting to happen. But i guess if the birds get rid of the bodies quickly it is a sound practice as over time you would run out of places to bury people if you just kept digging in the ground.
I never thought about that. That's a good point. Of course this has been going on for centuries if I'm not mistaken. [I didn't view the video because I'm at work.]
Do you refer to this going on in the lack of human influence or with it? I'm sure you're smart enough to be well aware that sky burial is a natural progression for any carrion in the vicinity of predatory birds.
