Cuba - Bone Pile, Cuban Cemetery


Bone Pile, Cuban Cemetery

- - - - - - - - - - -

From what I read on the computer was, when someone was buried, they had to pay every so many years to stay buried.  Once you didn't pay, the remains were dug up and thrown in the bone pit.  Soldiers used to climb in and pick up bones to make a 'skull and cross bones' and take pictures.  (Like you see above).  Then one General ordered it to stop and the pit be covered. I read that this was done in other countries as well many many years ago.

Not for all the tea in China would I climb in and walk on someones remains!
