Description

Death—it’s the great equalizer, the mystery that has haunted and fascinated humanity since the beginning of time. But what happens when we die? How have different cultures honored, feared, and even celebrated the transition from life to the unknown? Today, we dive deep into the chilling and often bizarre ways humanity has dealt with death throughout history.

From ancient burial rites to sky burials, mummification, and the unsettling practice of hanging coffins, we explore the fascinating ways people have honored their dead. But death isn’t always peaceful.

Join me as we uncover the rituals, punishments, and beliefs that have shaped our understanding of death. But be warned—some of these stories may just stay with you long after the episode ends.
