Place Knife
why do turks put a knife ontop of a corpse?
ive seen a few turkish funerals and they all place a knife ontop of the deceased. whats with that?
You might mean Yakuts, they live in Siberia and are Turkic people, associated with the Sakha Republic. They had such funeral habits. They buried their people fully-clothed, with jewels (earrings for the women, sometimes for the men, rings or ankle bracelets), their everyday objects (lighter, knife, tobacco pouch) and those that were part of the usual “gear” for men (saddle, bow, quivers and arrows, weapons) or women (pots, spoons, pipes).
Such things never happens in Turkey.
