Why were all the soldiers killed in ancient times wrapped in horse skins?

"Soldiers who died in ancient times were all wrapped in horse skins", because the body wrapped in horses was the highest treatment for soldiers who died in battle. This is also an honor for soldiers. For ordinary soldiers killed in battle, this is an unattainable luxury. Battlefield material shortage: The ancient war was a collision of weapons and a cold weapon war. There is no war, only swords and shadows and blood. For ancient wars, there was no modern mechanical transportation. Materials are transported by trolleys or trucks, and the traffic volume is not large. Apart from the weapons used in the war and the necessary food and feed, other materials are rarely carried. So if you want to dispose of the body, you don't usually wrap it with a lot of things.

It represents outstanding achievements: soldiers fight on the battlefield, and few people remember them, because many people are similar to each other and are not worth remembering. Generally, such treatment as horse cover will only be given to soldiers with outstanding military achievements. So if a soldier dies, it shows that his achievements are outstanding. That even his descendants can be eclipsed.

The number of horses is small. In ancient battlefields, war horses were very precious, so the number of war horses was very small, and there were even fewer dead horses, so horse skins were very rare items. Therefore, horse skin is a very rare item and an expensive material. It is impossible for every soldier to use it.

It also placed the good wishes of the soldiers. The soldiers thought that wrapping the body with something like horse skin would give him a better place to go after reincarnation. I think Marco can give himself strength after he dies. Like a cowherd in cowhide. So many soldiers hope to have such treatment. Maybe it's longing for the afterlife.
