{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
[[? Arabic?]]
you know, they were so disappointed because of that. Your Grandmother was very sad, she was heartbroken over her, she asked herself what will she do with her wedding attire. You know rich people used to bury the ones who die in something that they build which looks like a tombŲŒ they walk in, they then put in their homes. They do not bury the dead person.
[00:16:53]

{SPEAKER name="Dr. Naff"}
Do they embalm them?
[00:16:54]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
No, they don't embalm them, they bury them same day.
[00:16:57]

{SPEAKER name="Dr. Naff"}
Same day?
[00:16:58]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
Yeah, if they die in the morning, they bury them before the sunset. If they die at night, they bury them the next morning, the very next day they burry.
[00:17:07]

{SPEAKER name="Dr. Naff"}
But when they came here, do you think the Syrians knew about embalming?
[00:17:12]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
No, no.
[00:17:13]

{SPEAKER name="Dr. Naff"}
And they used to do the same thing, bury them immediately?
[00:17:16]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
Oh no, here, no. They had to go according to law. You know, the law was embalming.
[00:17:21]

{SPEAKER name="Dr. Naff"}
OK
[00:17:23]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
So anyway, [[? Arabic?]] they began to put all her dowry, also her jewelry,
they started to put all her [[?]]
you know, all her jewelry, and all her, everything!
[00:17:32]

{SPEAKER name="Dr. Naff"}
Her whole trousseau--
[00:17:33]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}?
Her whole trousseau--they put it in that tomb with her, you know. So somebody said--came and, few days, couple of days after, two or three days or something like that,
[00:17:44]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
they came and told you, Grandma, [[? Arabic?]] they shouted Mother of Faris somebody opened the tomb and stole the stuff in it. They desecrated the tomb How haram that was. A beautiful tomb, they opened the tomb of a dead person, she did not care about the stuff stolen but she cared about the fact that the tomb was opened [[?]]. They started running to it and my mother got up and also ran, following them.
[00:18:04]

{SPEAKER name="Dr. Naff"}
Is it, why do they, what are they afraid of [[? Arabic?]] if they open the tomb if the wood is opened? Like-
[00:18:08]

{SPEAKER name="Nazha Haney"}
Haram. They think it's--oh, it's terrible. They don't, they never open um, never, never! Ah, like [[in Arabic]] normally in our town, they remove always, and I've seen it when they remove it, because we would play there.
