See The Indonesian Dani Tribe Who Preserve Corpses With Smoke For Centuries... by igben(m): 5:23pm On May 04, 2017 |
A one Indonesia village, people have discovered that the remain of a dead person are not dead buried but roasted over an open fire and kept as mummies for a long time. A UK Newspaper 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. The UK newspaper reports that “Visitors can also get a glimpse of Dani traditions at Baliem Valley Festival, an annual event with mock battles between tribes.” news credit: http://weirdnews247..com.ng/
