Why do some people wear turbans?

Asked by timothykinney (2743points) March 6th, 2009

I’m not trying to be ignorant. I heard that nomadic people wear their burial garments on their heads (because there is no wood or stone around in the desert where they might die) as the primary reason for wearing a turban. Is this true? Is there any religious significance to turbans?
