I want to be buried in the fetal position. I mean, after I’m dead.

We started out life in that position. Might as well end in it as well.

That was my first thought exactly when I read that this village buried all of its dead that way (at least in the ~60 tombs excavated so far). This burial position tells me that those ancient people were thoughtful and civilized.
