Sky Burial is an ancient Tibetan Buddhist funerary practice that reflects profound spiritual beliefs about impermanence and compassion. Rather than burying or cremating the dead, the body is symbolically returned to nature, nourishing other life forms and completing the cycle of existence. Practiced quietly in remote Himalayan regions, Sky Burial emphasizes humility, acceptance of death, and the interconnectedness of all living beings. This ritual is not about loss — it is about transformation. Subscribe to Hidden Cities for more mysteries and documentaries.

The Sahara Desert was not always dry and lifeless. Scientific evidence shows that around 10,000 years ago, the Sahara was a green, fertile region filled with rivers, lakes, wildlife, and thriving human communities. Rock art, stone tools, and archaeological sites reveal that people once farmed, fished, and raised animals across this land. As Earth’s climate changed, rainfall declined, vegetation disappeared, and the region slowly transformed into the desert we see today. Entire civilizations were forced to migrate — or vanished completely. This is not mythology. This is real science.
