No, i'm saying Christians copied everything & that preoccupation with whole bodily burial traces back to the Egyptians , boy you sure are dumb aren't you? If you were following along with early Christianity at all you know there's always been the most abject fear built in of being buried in pieces or cremated. It was the Egyptians who began to popularise the custom of preserving the body after death and the use of stone coffins became common in the early Roman Empire long before the coming of Christianity.

Cremation was still illegal in England right up almost to 1900, for the persistance of superstitions like this.
