GM with something a little bit morbid, but absolutely fascinating to me. This is a Tower of Silence (also known as a dakhma). There is a religion originating from Iran called Zoroastrianism, where the dead are excarnated in these as a natural way of returning the body to the elements. I first heard about this in an episode of the 99% Invisible podcast. Well worth a listen imo (linked below). https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/towers-of-silence/
