One aspect of the snake religion is the snake had the power of protection. It was important for the deceased to be protected after death by making the gravesite a snakes head. Viewing the burial site from above, burials are formed in a heart shape, the symbol used for indicating a snakes head. The burials come in different forms. Some forms are mounds or just a rock outline, or both.
