In the early 1800s, grave digging was common in many countries, including the United Kingdom and the United States. This comes from the need of medical students who want to study human anatomy. Therefore, to prevent grave robbers, the ancients had “unique moves” to protect the bodies of their loved ones.
The cages to protect the body will be placed for about 10 weeks.
This is a way to prevent grave digging and stealing corpses of the ancients. Accordingly, solid iron cages will be placed at the grave to prevent grave robbers from digging the coffin to steal the dead body.
The cages to protect the body will be placed for about 10 weeks. The ancients did this because after 10 weeks, the deceased’s body had decomposed quite a lot. Therefore, these corpses will not be able to be used to sell to medical students performing anatomical experiments.
Occasionally, some iron cages are permanently fixed to the grave. As a result, the deceased will never have their resting place vandalized by thieves.
Using an iron coffin will make it difficult for grave robbers to steal the corpse.
To prevent thieves from stealing corpses, the ancients also used iron coffins.
Due to being made of iron, the coffins containing the dead are extremely sturdy and heavy, making it difficult for grave robbers to steal the corpse. Most cases of graves being dug up by crooks to steal the body take place in the first few weeks after the dead person is buried.
Grave robbers can’t lift loincloths with the strength of one or two people.
For families who are not well off, people use large and heavy stone blocks placed above the grave containing the dead person’s coffin to prevent the grave from being dug up.
Accordingly, grave robbers could not lift the loincloths with the strength of one or two people. After a while, the deceased’s body has decomposed a lot, the deceased’s relatives will move the above stones to another place and place the tombstone in it.
