A tribe living in remote areas in Indonesia maintains a strange death burial regime dating back thousands of years.
The burial of children in tree charcoal in Tana Toraja
Accordingly, the remote area of Tana Toraja, southern Sulawesi, 186 miles north of the city of Makassar, Indonesia - the habitat of the Torajan clan - possessed the strange custom of burial. They buried unfortunate children early in the trees, and that place was called a grave .(Photo: Internet)
These strange tombs will only bury the lost baby before they have teeth.If they passed this stage, they would be buried in the graveyard as adults.
Relatives of the ill-fated babies choose a large tree trunk, cut a big hole and place the corpse there in a standing posture according to the Torajan conception, thus making it easier to go to heaven.(Photo: Internet)
The hole has enough space for the corpse but still ensures good growth. After that, they will use palm leaves to form a shield to cover the outside, like a door. Each tree, depending on its size, can have one or more 'houses' for resting children.(Photo: Internet)
Over time, these plants grow and that 'house' will disappear.(Photo: Internet)
The Torajan tribe thought that when the bodies disappeared, it was time for the children to completely mingle with their mother in physical terms.And the soul has been carried away by the wind to a place of happiness and happiness.(Photo: Internet)
In addition to the grave of trees, the adults will have other burial customs: placing the deceased's body in a cave in a deep forest or coffin hung on a cliff .(Photo: Internet)
More frightening, the Tarajan also have a custom called Ma'Nene .Every 3 years, relatives dig up graves, take their bodies, bathe, wear clothes, make up and let the dead march around the village.This is an act that according to them is to remember the deceased.(Photo: Internet)
