For centuries, there has been a worldwide custom of burying people to a depth of at least two meters, but few people know why. This custom originated in Great Britain in 1655 and soon after spread to Russia.
Today, it is customary throughout the world to bury people at a depth of at least two meters. This custom was associated with the plague, which quickly spread to England and then to all the countries of the world.
In fact, this “standard” is related to the bubonic plague, which spread rapidly in Britain since the 1650s. At that time, the concentration of sick people in cities was so great that it created major problems for the government, already that the corpses of infected people lay in street banquets. In fact, no one knew what to do about it, writes “Trud.”
After the “black death”, the country’s leadership decided that to protect itself against the spread of the disease, the dead should be buried at a depth of at least 2.2 m to prevent the spread of the virus.
Then this standard was extended to all countries of the world and now in Russia there is a GOST, according to which the burial of a person must be carried out at least 2.5 meters.
