00:00Did you know that there is a city that has the only 32-story vertical symmetry in the world?
00:06Let's discover the real story behind this amazing and unique place.
00:10Today, the world's population is growing very fast.
00:13With more people living on Earth, it's becoming harder not just to find homes for the living,
00:18but also peaceful resting place for those who pass away.
00:22Graveyards are getting full, and finding space to bury loved one has become a big challenge,
00:27especially in crowded cities.
00:30Because of these shortages of land, a new idea is becoming popular, high-rising cemeteries.
00:35Instead of spreading graves across large fields, some places are building cemeteries like tall buildings.
00:42The most famous example is the Memorial Necropole Ecumenica in Santos, Brazil.
00:48It is known as the world's tallest cemetery and is even listed in the Guinness World Records.
00:53This towering cemetery is 108 meters tall and has 32 floors.
00:58Construction began in 1983, and today it offers a wide range of facilities, including a peaceful church,
01:06a green garden, a beautiful waterfall, a spacious parking lot, and even a restaurant for visitors.
01:13It has enough space to hold about 25,000 bodies.
01:16Each floor of the building is divided into several sections, with about 150 toms per section.
01:23On each story, there are six toms.
01:26An interesting thing about this vertical graveyard is that, the higher the toms, the higher the price.
01:32It has also become a major tourist attraction in Brazil, drawing millions of visitors every year.
01:38At Memorial Necropole, Ecumenica families usually rent a burial spot for three years.
01:43After this time, the remains are returned to the family, and they can bury them elsewhere or handle them according to their traditions.
01:51This system helps manage the space for future burials.
01:55The building also has a special ventilation to keep the inside cool and fresh, making it a respectful and clean environment for visitors.
02:03The Santos Brazil symmetry has also become a popular tourist spot.
02:08Many visitors come to see this unique symmetry in the world.
02:11Take photos and learn about the history of this fascinating place.
02:15However, this trend of vertical burial also shows a big issue.
02:20Finding space for burial is becoming harder every day due to the population growth.
02:25It reminds us that death is a part of the life, and we must prepare for it with dignity and care.
02:31The memorial Necropole Eumenica is not just a place for the dead.
02:36It is a symbol of human creativity in facing modern challenges.
02:40As cities grow, vertical symmetries may become more common worldwide.
02:44They offer a new way to honor our loved ones when traditional burial grounds are no longer an option.
02:51After all, life is a journey, and a finding a final resting place is part of that journey.
03:01I'll be able to focus on the educators from the sky.
