Several dozen bent and twisted nails, some with chipped heads, were also scattered around the burning area. Archaeologists suggest that this is some kind of ritual, the essence of which is to try to prevent the deceased from rising from the grave so that he cannot come to live.
In fact, no one was resurrected from the dead, only in ancient times people had many souls, otherworldly forces, etc. Some communities did indeed believe that the dead could somehow be resurrected. Last year, for example, archaeologists unearthed the skeleton of a woman in a 17th-century Polish cemetery, buried with a sickle around her neck to decapitate the vampire in the event of a “revolt from the grave.”
