    Early on in this doc they contrast the burial practices of the Bo and the Han stating the Han burials were/are in a ground-based tomb in a high place overlooking the living based on a belief that this will bring prosperity to those living below. They contrasted this with the Bo practices, missing the similarity of the hanging coffins also being in a high place overlooking the living. The interviews with the supposed Bo descendants confirmed that the Han and the Bo burial practices originally had more in common as far as bringing prosperity to the living; unfortunately the Bo descendants changed their views to be aligned with the fact of being decimated - the hanging coffins did not, and do not, bring prosperity. Instead they adopted the in-ground burial practices of their conquerors. Very interesting doc.

    Omg! When I saw the thumbnail picture I thought they’d buried them and part of the cliff had fallen down lol. I can’t believe how they just put their relative/friends bodies on bits where rocks were sticking out to hold their coffins lol.

    • @JaimeFlorSongwriter
      @JaimeFlorSongwriter 10 років тому +3

      Lol, stories like that are fun for the imagination, but it just underestimates our human ancestors from past time periods. In fact, the Igorot tribe in Sagada, in the northern Philippines, they still do this with their deceased. They're very open about the tradition, & value their culture. Under Emperor Ming's rule, China controlled the trade routes in the northern Philippines. My guess, is that Igorot learned this from the Bo, or other Chinese that followed the tradition. The Igorot also use natural caves, because they continue to add hanging coffins to the mountain sides.
