  • Probably one of the most fascinating attractions in #Yazd #Iran: The Towers of Silence. These towers were used in #Zoroastrian #traditions for their funeral process. Bodies would be placed on the towers' platforms for birds of prey to clean the bones. The ritual dates back from the 9th-century BC to prevent contamination of the earth. In Yazd, the towers were still used until about 40 years ago. As in Kerman, the site was highly intriguing, but even more so here in Yazd given the size of the complex. The most recognizable part of the Yazd site is this water reservoir built for the mourning families coming for the duration of the funeral. Learning about Zoroastrians was one of the most unexpected aspects of Iran, like how the religion is still alive nowadays. A testament to the rich and complex history of Iran. How much have you ever heard about Zoroastrians? . . . . . 🇫🇷 Probablement l’une des attractions les plus célèbres de Yazd Iran: Les Tours du Silence. Ces tours ont été utilisées dans les traditions zoroastriennes pour leur processus funéraire. Les corps seraient placés sur les plates-formes des tours pour permettre aux oiseaux de proie de nettoyer les os. Le rituel date du 9ème siècle avant JC pour éviter la contamination de la terre. À Yazd, les tours étaient encore utilisées il y a environ 40 ans. Comme à Kerman, le site était très intrigant, mais encore plus ici à Yazd, compte tenu de la taille du complexe. La partie la plus reconnaissable du site de Yazd est ce réservoir d’eau construit pour les familles en deuil qui assistaient aux funérailles. Apprendre à connaître les Zoroastriens était l’un des aspects les plus inattendus de l’Iran, comme la façon dont la religion est encore vivante de nos jours. Un témoignage de l'histoire riche et complexe de l'Iran. Avez-vous déjà entendu parler des zoroastriens? . . . . . . #aroundtheworld #exploretheworld #igtravel #tourtheplanet #travel #traveldeeper #travelhotography #zewanderingfrogs_iran #caravanistan #Tourism_IRAN #IRANTRAVEL #iran_tourism #iran_insta_pic #irantraveling #iranphotography #visitiran #iranpics #tourdumonde #voyageursdumonde #architecturephoto #ancienthistory #zoroastrian #traditions
