How many mysterious and unknown hides mysterious Africa in himself!

Her rich fabulous nature, an amazing animal world and to this day are of great interest to scientists and excite the inquisitive minds of travelers. Inexplicable admiration, along with animal fear, cause customs and morals of local aborigines belonging to the most diverse tribes, everywhere inhabiting black continent. By itself, Africa is quite contrasted, and the facade of the civilized world is often hidden by the unprecedented wildness of the primitive community.

Wild Africa. Tribes of cannibals

One of the most mystical secrets of tropical Africa is definitely cannibalism.

The cannibalism, that is, eating themselves like that, in many African tribes, constantly warring themary, was originally based on faith in the wonderful effects of human blood and flesh on such qualities of warriors as courage, masculinity, heroism and courage. Some cannibal tribes widely used various drugs made from burned and lies in the human heart powder. It was believed that such a black ointment based on the resulting ash and human fat is able to strengthen the body and raise the spirit of the warrior before the battle, as well as to protect against enemy spells. The true scales of all sorts of ritual murders are unknown, all rites, as a rule, were accomplished in a deep secret.

Wild tribes. Cannibals involuntarily

Cannibalism in no way was associated with the level of development of a tribe of the Aborigines or with its moral implications. It was simple, he was very widespread throughout the continent, a sharp shortage of food was felt, besides, killing a person was much easier than to shoot on the hunt of the wild beast. Although there were tribes specializing in, for example, in cattle breeding, which had enough meat of animals, they did not do the cannibalism. At the beginning of the 20th century, there were huge slave markets on the territory of modern Zaire, which were sold or exchanged slaves on the elephant bone solely for eating. They could see the slaves of various sexes and age, it could even be women with babies in her arms, although men used in great demand, since women could use the farm.

The cruelty of the morals

The tribes of the cannibals were openly stated that they like it because of his juiciness, delicacies were considered to be fingers and feet, as well as women's chest.

A special ritual was associated with the eating head. The flesh, favored from the head, received only the most significant of the elders. The skull was carefully stored in special pots, which subsequently came rites of sacrifices and read prayers. Perhaps inhuman among the natives was the rite of tearing pieces of human flesh in another living victim, and some Nigerian tribes of cannibals, distinguished by special, fierce cruelty, with the help of pumpkin used as an enema, poured into the throat or in the rear pass of the captive boiling palm oil . According to these cannibals, the body meat and fully impregnated with oil was much more complicated and more thorough for the taste. In ancient times, the flesh of aliens was mainly located, first of all, these were prisoners. At present, the victims often become tribesmen.

The tribes of cannibals. Creepy hospitality

Interestingly, according to the Cannibal customs of hospitality, the refusal to taste the proposed guests was perceived as a deadly offense and an insult.

Therefore, without any doubt, in order not to be eaten and free to move around the continent from the tribe to the tribe, as well as in the sign of friendship and respect, African travelers probably had to divert this food.

The last cannibals are known to live in Papua New Guinea. It still lives according to the rules taken by 5 thousand years ago: men go bare, and women cut off their fingers. There are only three tribes still engaged in cannibalism, it is Yali, Vanuatu and Kapaffa. Kapaffa (or Wooden people) is the most cruel tribe. They eat not only soldiers of other people's tribes that weighing local or tourists, but also all their deceased relatives. The name "Wooden people" got out of their homes, which are incredibly high (see the last 3 pictures). The tribe of Vanuatu is a peaceful enough, so as not to eat the photographer, the leader bring several pigs. Yali - Grozny Warriors (photos of Yali begin with 9 pictures). The phalange of the man's fingers of the Yali tribe cut off the hatch in the sign of the sorrow along the deceased or deceased relative.

The most important holiday of Yali is a celebration of death. Women and men paint their body as a skeleton. For the holiday of death earlier, perhaps this is done and now, the shaman and the leader of the tribe were killed his warm brain. It was done in order to meet death and absorb the leader of the knowledge of Shaman. Now Yali people are killing less frequently, mainly, if it was crumbling or for some other "important" reasons.

Hungry cannibalism, which precedes the murder, is regarded in psychiatry as a manifestation of the so-called hungry insanity.

Also known to household cannibalism, not dictated by the need for survival and not provoked by the hungry obstruction. IN judicial practice Such cases are not qualified as an intentional murder with special cruelty.

With the exception of these not too common cases, with the word "cannibalism", it is more likely to come into mind, still incredible ritual pears, during which the victorious tribes devour parts of their enemies to gain their strength; Or another known useful "application" of this phenomenon: the heirs thus cost them the bodies of their fathers in the pious hope that they will reinforce the body of their flesh.

The "cannibal" strange modern Mira Is Indonesia. In this state there are two famous center of mass cannibalism - from Indonesia. Part of the island of New Guinea and the island of Kaliman (Borneo). The jungle of Kalimantane is settled by 7-8 million giving, famous hunters behind the skulls and cannibals.

The most lack of body parts are considered the head - language, cheeks, leather with chin, removed through the nasal cavity or ear opening brain, meat with hip and caviar, heart, palm. The initiators of crowded trips for the turtles in Djakov are women.
The last splash of cannibals on Borneo occurred at the turn of the 20s and 21st centuries, when the Indonesian government tried to organize the collonization of the internal regions of the island by the forces of civilized immigrants from Java and Madura. Unfortunate peasants - settlers and accompanying their soldiers for the most part were carved and were eaten. Until recently, the cannibalism was preserved on the island of Sumatra, where the Bakak tribes were ate sentenced to death criminals and incapacitated old people.

A large role in almost complete elimination of cannibalism on Sumatra and some other islands was played by the activities of the "Father of Indonesian Independence" Sukarno and the Military Dictator Sukharto. But even they could not improve the situation in Irian-Jay - Indonesian New Guinea. Living there Papuass ethnic groups, according to the testimony of missionaries, obsessed with passion for human meat and differ in unprecedented cruelty.

They especially prefer human liver with healing herbs, penises, noses, languages, meat with hips, feet feet, chest glands. In the eastern part of the island of New Guinea, in the independent state of Papua - the new Guinea facts of cannibalism is fixed much less.
