Sulawesi Toraja's Dead Rituals

We made the flight from Bali to Ujung Pandang (ancient Makassar) then continued by car up to Pare Pare, Rantepao to join Tana Toraja tribe in 1992; It has been with no doubt our most impressive trip, quite frightening, where the dead relatives are dug up, cleaned to wear new clothes, even have their hair-dressed to participate the sometimes long traditional rituals (days,weeks,monthes) all of this in the blood of of just killed buffalos spread on soil, reinforcing horror in our minds which are so far of such traditions! And I don't speak of the abominable death smell present everywhere that let them indifferent! The tree in third up left picture of this montage serves as cemetery for babies so their souls are directly brought to heaven by the sap; Indonesia Sulawesi Toraja tribe funeral traditions. Nous avons fait le vol de Bali à Ujung Pandang (ancienne Makassar) puis continué en voiture jusqu'à Pare Pare, Rantepao pour rejoindre la tribu Tana Toraja en 1992; Ce fut sans aucun doute notre voyage le plus impressionnant, assez effrayant, où les parents décédés sont déterrés, nettoyés pour porter de nouveaux vêtements, même coiffés pour participer aux rituels traditionnels parfois longs (jours, semaines, mois) tous ceci dans le sang de buffles juste tués et répandu sur le sol, renforçant l'horreur dans nos esprits qui sont si loin de telles traditions! Et je ne parle pas de l'abominable odeur de mort présente partout qui les laisse indifférents! L'arbre dans la troisième photo en haut à gauche de ce montage sert de cimetière pour les bébés afin que leurs âmes soient directement amenées au ciel par la sève; Indonésie Sulawesi Toraja traditions funéraires.
