Zorostranism
- "Zoroastrian burial rites center on exposure of the dead. After death, a dog is brought before the corpse a "four-eyed" dog,with a spot above each eye, believed to increase the efficacy of its gaze. The rite is repeated five times a day. After the first one, fire is brought into the room where it is kept burning until three days after the removal of the corpse to the Tower of Silence."
