I've always found these practices beautiful, fascinating and inspiring. Thank you for the video. I also fell in love with the music in this video and discovered Anoushbard. You've got yourself a fan! Greetings from Finland
This was a well done video. Interesting and informative. I learned a lot. Its an interesting place that is open to the elements and its effects. Not sure how much longer it will be standing, with climate change on the go. !!
Very interesting documentary with great visuals. However...I found the "background" music much too loud and hugely intrusive - at times I could not understand what was being spoken. Please, please remix the sound so that the voice-over much louder is than the music.
Based on how the narrator pronounced “ancient” @ 1:22 , with a mostly flat-a in the first syllable, I’m guessing that English is not his first language.
Why was this area picked for this important ritual? Has this palace always been a desolate god forsaken wasteland?? If not .... what did it change from? when did it change? Water?? A well ?? Oasis? Hmmmmm.
🙏true.very true..there is absolutely nothing BUT offering prayers to the fire or Sun, it's injustice for us women who are ostracized for marrying out of religion; a man's kids can follow the religion NOT a woman's...YET respects to my great religion..felt connected..🙏
Zoroastrianism hardly seek converts just like Jewish religion. Many people are more familiar with the religion's unusual method of disposing the dead. Unlike most cultures that either buried or cremate their dead, the Zoroastrians instead fed their dead to scavengers especially vultures. Special cemeteries known as tower of silence are constructed for such purpose. However in recent years, this method is getting less common. In India and Iran, the lack of the sufficient numbers of vultures has forced the Zoroastrians to turn to other methods of disposing their dead. Some towers of silence in India are installed with solar panels where the temperatures of dead bodies are increased to speed up decomposition. However the solar panels are useless during moonsoon seasons. Many Zoroastrians now are turning to cremation despite being forbidden by their religion. Zoroastrian migrants to other countries also turned to cremation.

Are you telling me that you're not going to go on and on about the Giza pyramids or Machu Picchu again and again and again? 🙂 Thank you for thinking outside of the box.

Hi there from Glendale CA very nice 👍❤
Have or can these structures be accurately dated?
They all are dated.
Can anyone please write all those Persian words in Persian mentioned in this video.
I will do that soon
Omar Khayam (polymath and poet) - Zoroastrian (Iranian religion) - Kerman and Yazd (Cities in Iran) - Sassanid Era - Qajar Dynasty - Rumi(poet) - Dakhma - Zoroastrian Magi - Daadgaah - Parsis of India - Gehen - Nesa Saalaar - Sharif Abad (city in Iran)
Vultures were the scavengers that rid the corpses of flesh and organs.
Fascinating!
Super video bro.but idont know this is which country.
Sukumar India.
It's in Iran.
Imagine being the guy that has to keep a fire burning for three days with nothing but gravel as far as one could see.
I see a bunch of weeds that could be used.
@@oriraykai3610 for three days of fire building? He would be busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest!
imagine smoking weed and sky gazing during that. or i imagine they were busy with other chemical tasks
This was a well done video. Interesting and informative. I learned a lot. Its an interesting place that is open to the elements
and its effects. Not sure how much longer it will be standing, with climate change on the go. !!
It's beautiful religion ut accordingly no one can enter
People can convert. Zoroastrianism allows conversions, but only the Parsis (Indian Zoroastrians) do not.
These are 1000s of years old traditions . These are pre islamic philosophy of Persia .
The satellite map of Iran @ 1:56 shows how crazily geologically twisted and distorted the region is! 😮
Very interesting documentary with great visuals. However...I found the "background" music much too loud and hugely intrusive - at times I could not understand what was being spoken. Please, please remix the sound so that the voice-over much louder is than the music.
We will take this issue into consideration for future videos.
@@mysteriousplateau thank you!

比鄰港島跑馬地養和醫院是印度「興都」教廟，後邊就是巴斯人墳場，香港開埠早期已設立,門首石碑有準確日期記載，惟静寂塔（Tower Silence)在港則未見有半點蛛絲馬跡可尋。

原來天葬不是西藏人獨有的風俗！
In tower of dakhma parsism people burned and feed their dead loved ones to vultures after death
Its a shame Zoroastrianism had rules making the religion practically die out it would be popular if it was opened up to the outside world.
There are syill many followers. This religion has not died yet. Greek mythology, for instance, is an extinct religion. However, Zoroastrianism is not.

It is open
Just not in India
To keep promise to Raj Rana
