tower of silence









































a dakhma (persian: دخمه), also called a tower of silence, is a circular, raised structure built by zoroastrians for excarnation – that is, for dead bodies to be exposed to carrion birds, usually vultures.









































zoroastrian exposure of the dead is first attested in the mid-5th century bc "histories" of herodotus, but the use of towers is first documented in the early 9th century ce. the doctrinal rationale for exposure is to avoid contact with earth or fire, both of which are considered sacred in the zoroastrian religion.
