Morbid curiosity: burials communicating through the millenia?
At any point in history, at any culture, was there ever a burial ritual where the intent was not about the afterlife, not about recognizing celebrating the person that they were, but instead burying them in such a way that for future humans to find and then dig them up and somehow derive meaning or understanding about the past? Like, is this a thing? Did this ever happen? This is so strange to me
And this is something that I've never really understood because it's something I don't really care about. Right? Put me into one of those, mycelium coffins and let me biodegrade into nothing or cremate me and scatter me to the wind. I'm going to become a part of the circle of life, if you will. So me leaving sort of any mark behind, I don't know, it's just not for me. I don't find any meaning in it

And so they had him he actually was buried in the car, in the ground instead of a coffin. But they had him at his wake, propped up in the car, laid back with the seat, leaned back as if he was driving the car. And I would walk past him when he was looking at this stuff and think, that is creepy because I have become accustomed to the person's in the coffin in their suit or their dress and that's how they look
I'm glad. At the very least, it was entertaining. Oh, my goodness. How would they know that? It's too funny. I mean, you and I have talked before about potentially changing into a different kind of energy. So maybe they can see are aware of what we've done, but we may not be able to tap into their frustration or whatever feeling they might have
