The Hom Mounds served as a sacred burial ground for the Nociv people, situated in the highlands of Kadril. The Nociv held the conviction that by laying their deceased to rest within the Hom Mounds, the spirits of the departed could journey back to the planet that gave rise to all existence. The Nociv practice involved positioning the dead atop a mound during the burial ritual, facilitating the body's assimilation into the earth.
