The Towers of Silence in Iran are ancient Zoroastrian structures where the dead were laid out for vultures to naturally decompose the body. Zoroastrians believed burying or burning the dead would pollute the earth or fire, so this method kept nature sacred. The most famous towers are near Yazd, and while no longer in use, they remain powerful symbols of Zoroastrian tradition. #iran #persia #zoroastrianism
