Individual gravestones record the location where military figures are buried in Ancient Rome during the 1st century BC. Figures, epitaphs, and other imagery can be found on these gravestones. Beginning in the 1600s, individual, long-lasting gravestones were erected. Individual gravestones may have existed before to this, but they were almost certainly constructed of wood. For a long time, gravestones have marked the locations where individuals have died. There are other tombstone myths, such as avoiding standing on a horizontal stone or being drugged inside the grave. Gravestones play an important role in current horror films since they mark the places where people have died. The horror linked with death and the unknown of the afterlife is symbolized by scenes of a fog-covered graveyard or a hand stretching out below the gravestone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Symbols of death, commemoration Gravestones have been used since the ancient Roman and Celtic cultures.
