Ancient hanging coffins linked to Bo people

A long time ago, people in southern China used to hang coffins in high cliffs to bury their dead.

This was done by a group called the Bo people, who are still around today.

They used special tools to climb the cliffs and place the coffins.

The higher the coffins were, the more lucky it was thought to be.

Scientists studied old bodies from these coffins and found they were related to the Bo people.

This tradition was also found in other places like Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia, where different groups had similar burial customs.
