56: Papua New Guinea, 巴布亚新几内亚

9 Apr

Among the many customs the aboriginal tribes have, fuming is adopted to treat dead bodies. Recipe: Discard internal organs, add preservatives and fume 2-3 days to dry the bodies. Much shorter process than Egypt’s 70 day ritual!

去巴布亚新几内亚绝对不能错过拜访当地的原著民,他们的奇异风俗让人打开眼界。比如,人死后采用熏尸方式,将遗体的内脏丢掉,清洗后涂上红泥防虫腐,然后依其生前姿态用火熏烤2~3天,熏干后便不易腐坏。
