"Herodotus, in The Histories, has a very interesting section where Darius the Great asks about the Greeks, who honor their fathers by burning them, “How much money would it take to get them to honor them by eating them?” And he is told you could give them all the money in the world, but they won’t eat their fathers. They are horrified by that. Then he brings up the Indians, who ate their fathers to honor them, and he says, “How much money to burn your fathers?” And they are horrified by that."

Herodotus got it wrong. The Indian burn the deads. And the Zoroastrians (Persians) put the dead in the high tower for the vultures to eat them away.

Masha'Allah Sidi Mikael, your blog is truly amazing! I have been inspired tremendously just by reading three of your blog entries. I have purchased "Real Love" not that long ago, and it has changed my life ever since! You probably remember because it was you who recommended me to download this life changing lecture. Shukran for sharing this. Make duaa that my mother takes shahada.
Salams,
