The practice of underground burial began primarily due to the need for protection from environmental elements, scavengers, and to maintain hygiene. As populations grew, the demand for space increased, leading communities to seek efficient ways to manage the deceased. Additionally, underground burials offered a more respectful and permanent resting place, reflecting cultural beliefs about death and the afterlife.
