This horror painting is about cremation and the soul screaming it's terrible pain while the body is destroyed, a scene of death and total destruction of the body and soul. This image is inspiring a deep fear and negative emotion, deeper than the fear inspired by the image of a body that is "eaten by worms" cause we instinctively know that this is an image of total destruction. All the animals are affraid of fire, except some humans who have broken their bonds with nature.
The dacians burned their dead people and it didn't take long until they disappeared
This is how the dacians were treating their dead. They had no cemeteries. They were burning their dead people and men wearing masks with horns were singing and dancing around the burning bodies during the "funeral parties", like the devils in hell. The same thing has happened to the romans. Their empire entered the decline period when they started cremating people. All the civilizations who have burned their dead like this have vanished from history, while those who buried their dead people have survived, perpetuating their culture.
Why does this happen?
The soul the religions talk about is nothing more than the cellular memory and it is NOT indestructible. It has a biochemical basis and it may also be related to the memory of water It can be destroyed by high temperatures and cremation is permanently erasing it. If the body is not burned than the substances in the body that store this memories, even water with water memory, are transferred to other living beings. We can say the soul is reincarnating in the worms that grow on the deceased body, then in the plants around, in other animals and maybe in another human being. If living humans get the information from the cellular memories of those who have died long time ago then there will be a cultural continuity of the society. If the the dead dead people in a community are destroyed by fire this information is forever lost and that community will decline. All the civilizations in the past have entered a decline period and disappeared shortly after cremation has become popular replacing the traditional burial. That's why religions that consider cremation a sin and don't allow people to practice it are so powerful, surviving for thousands of years and spreading around the world. The dead people who strongly believed in that god have passed their cellular memories to the future generations while atheists and rationalists prefered to be burned, not knowing this will permanently erase their beliefs based on science from the collective mental. Until now science has denied there is something that remains after death while religion has used this phenomena for thousands of years.
