Decreation effects excarnation, the return of things to their original nothingness. |

The towers recall the pipes of an organ, Zoroastrian excarnation structures, and the architecture of surveillance. |
Excarnation has been suggested as a reason for the lack of burial evidence with the remains of the dead being dispersed either naturally or through human agency. |
This suggests a practice of excarnation and secondary burial, and possibly some form of ritual cannibalism. |
