KKF you were talking about this one right.

Zoroastrians “bury” their dead in circular towers to avoid the demon of the dead.

Zoroastrian tradition says that a dead body is unclean, and that the evil corpse demon would rush to a dead body to contaminate it and anything else it came in to contact with. For this reason, the Zoroastrians built towers with a roof containing three concentric rings (one for men, one for women, and one for children) on which they would place the dead bodies until they were completely destroyed by birds and sun. The remaining bones would then be shoved into a central well where they would remain buried inside the tower. This tradition continues to this day in Parsi communities in India. Pictured above are the remains of a tower of silence in Iran.

where are the pictures?
