The Forgotten
The caretaker explained that someone had thrown this man's bones over the wall most likely because he didn't have a family or anyone to claim his body. Additionally, he said they believe the soul leaves the body at death and the bones of the deceased are not treated as reverently as in other cultures. Families place the bones in the tombs as memorials, honoring their past loved ones.
