Na tradi\u00e7\u00e3o zoroastriana, assim que um corpo deixa de viver, ele pode ser imediatamente invadido por dem\u00f4nios e tornado impuro. Para prevenir essa possess\u00e3o p\u00f3stuma, os seguidores de Zoroastro purificavam os corpos de seus mortos expondo-os aos elementos no topo das dakhmas<\/i>, torres constru\u00eddas sobre os plat\u00f4s do deserto. <\/p>\n

Segundo a tradi\u00e7\u00e3o \u2014 que remonta a mais de 3000 anos \u2014 os corpos dos falecidos, devidamente despidos, eram abandonados no topo das torres formando tr\u00eas c\u00edrculos conc\u00eantricos. Os homens ficavam na circunfer\u00eancia mais externa; as mulheres no c\u00edrculo intermedi\u00e1rio e as crian\u00e7as formavam o anel interno. Os cad\u00e1veres eram abandonados at\u00e9 serem desintegrados naturalmente ou despeda\u00e7ados pelas aves de rapina do deserto.<\/p>\n

Ap\u00f3s esse processo de purifica\u00e7\u00e3o, os ossos eram retirados e guardados em ossu\u00e1rios localizados no interior das torres ou dentro delas. Monumentos f\u00fanebres dos zoroastrianos, essas torres-ossu\u00e1rios existiam em grande parte do sul da \u00c1sia \u2014 foram descobertas dakhmas <\/i>dos s\u00e9culos IV e V antes da era comum nas proximidades de Mumbai, na \u00cdndia.<\/p>\n

Mas as mais famosas dessas torres eram conhecidas como Torres do Sil\u00eancio. Situadas em Yazd,  no Ir\u00e3, elas continuaram a ser usadas at\u00e9 o come\u00e7o dos anos 1970. Mas a crescente urbaniza\u00e7\u00e3o deixou as dakhmas incomodamente pr\u00f3ximas dos limites urbanos de muitas cidades, obrigando o governo iraniano a proibir o milenar ritual f\u00fanebre. <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Aos poucos mazde\u00edstas que ainda restam no mundo (cerca de 120 mil), sobrou apenas a op\u00e7\u00e3o de cremar seus mortos. Embora n\u00e3o sejam mais usadas cerimonialmente, as Torres do Sil\u00eancio continuam a ser uma grande atra\u00e7\u00e3o do deserto iraniano.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
