each path led to the end of life , for once a lasi or mera man or woman grew too feeble to contribute to the well-being of the tribe , when he or she had become a burden to others , the honorable and expected thing for them to do was to walk the path , which after much weaving through the jungle led to and wove up the side of myiammo taung , the holy mountain , to eventually end at a sheer rock face as high as a two hundred warriors standing on top of each other , down which the old path walkers once arrived threw themselves to their deaths .
