The wooden coffins were carved from a hollowed out log (often by the deceased themselves before they passed away) and hung or nailed on beams projecting outwards against a cliff or inside caves.

Though the tradition still plays out in some ancient communities, it is on a much smaller scale - and with larger coffins that don't require the breaking of bones.Eventually, many of the coffins and beams deteriorate and fall from their precarious positions but there are still some which are more than 100 years old.Scattered among them are hanging chairs. These formed part of the complex death ritual where the deceased's body would be placed in the days leading up to the hanging of the coffin for people to pay last respects to. You can visit the haunting site on foot, although some of the best views can be had from afar. (dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.Az
