What is the name of the tribe that preserves bodies and places them on a mountain?

Posted on February 23, 2010 by admin

A long time ago, perhaps 20 years+ I (along with the rest of my family and some friends) saw a tv/movie documentary about a tribe that smoked the deceased to preserve them and placed them up the side of a mountain like they were scaffolding.

They were several ‘people’ high, more than 3 but I forget how high.

I have never seen any more about this and web searches show nothing, has anyone else heard of this?
And if so do you know their name?

I saw a documentary about this on the History Channel. It’s a tribe in China. I can’t remember the name of it and I couldn’t find anything using Google. Sorry.
