If you think you’ve seen or heard about the most bizarre traditions practiced around the world, then you may have a seat, you’re in for a surprise.

Dani tribe, a village in Indonesia has been discovered in Indonesia where the dead are not buried but roasted over an open fire and kept as mummies for a long time.

The Dani tribe resides in an extremely remote area of Papua province in a town named Wamena—located amidst Cyclops mountains—only accessible by planes. Still there is an estimated 250,000 Dani that live in the region according to The Globe.

Daily Star UK reports that the “Dani people from the central highlands of western New Guinea, Indonesia, have been able to preserve their dead for centuries with smoke”.

Though it reports that the technique is no longer in use, a tribe in Wogi – a village close to the regional capital, Wamena – has held on to a number of mummies which it refused to bury.

According to tradition in that region, smoking someone over a fire for weeks, or even months, is the ultimate show of respect for the deceased in Dani culture.

In recent years, this bizarre culture has brought tourists to this isolated part of Indonesia, more than 2,000 miles from the capital, Jakarta.

Daily Star UK reports that “Visitors can also get a glimpse of Dani traditions at Baliem Valley Festival, an annual event with mock battles between tribes.”

The Dani tribe was first encountered by explorers in 1909, when they played host to a Dutch expedition in one village for several nights.

One part of the tribe, the Grand Valley Dani, remained undiscovered until 1938 when an American spotted them from a plane.

This people are still living in the pre-history era.

It's more of drying over fire, same as done with it fish.

It sounds like a good plan.

Ah... And you can eat it?

I'll rather commit suicide than knowingly eat rosted person.

Roasted for how many years set, I nor know

These people are out of touch with the real world. just wondering where roasted dead people will be kept, because it will get to a point when the roasted dead people will be much more than the people alive.
