The STRANGE GRAVES of the DEATH TRIBE ☠️

I spend 2 weeks with the Death Tribe of Indonesia. Their views on life and what happens after is fascinating.

I love the idea of the lost babies being given back to mother nature to protect. That is so beautiful 😢

It reminds me of that area in China where they used to attach coffins to the cliffs along a river.

The sentence, "there are toothless children in the trees" is horrifying

Last few seconds of the clip ...

"pay respect to the ancestors"
Also *Random guy playing with a skull* 😂

This is amazing, they appreciate the souls more than we do

The baby in the tree/mother's milk thing is kinda beautiful!

[sumasiandude]

Bro the thing they do to the babies after they pass is actuallly beautiful asf I seen someone in these comment section say “how they’re giving them back to Mother Nature to protect” that actually hits hard

The leaves, the branches and the trunk of the trees are symbolic parts of a spiritual connection between loved ones with the mortal world and paradise.

As a tribal from Northeast India, i can relate the baby burial. My son was a passway in 2016 as per our tradition we buried him under our house (our house is usually high up) never to be left alone etc. We now buried him in the cemetery along with my grandfather who died in the year 2021 ( i can't type in everything here, so excuse me).

Got to research this for a project. It’s so beautiful how they show love to their lost family members. ❤

I've seen many documentaries regarding my tribe, Toraya, yet this is very first time I saw how concise and beautiful the explanation is about how Death is treated in Toraja. I really appreciate this. Next time you're planning to visit the town again, I'd love to host you at my house and treat you to many delicacies our tribe has! Peace and love from Indonesia.

Something so beautiful knowing there are humans still in touch with nature beyond just body. Their spirit still resides with Gaia and that’s a wonderful feeling. Death may bring sadness but it also connects one another.

Respect for the family, friends, and the ancestors where they became from. What an awesome group of people

[rjchavers]

I think this is a beautiful way to memorialize their loved ones. 💛

[SenpaiDonnelle]

That's actually beautiful how much respect they had for each other long ago

[PatheticFox]

The lengths that people go to just to cope through loss is... beautifully sad.

[bobcharlie]

Very sweet. A beautiful place for their loved ones. There is a lot of love there.

[jimsmith]

Goddamn those graves carved into the stone do seem impossible. That must have taken serious effort

[leewilson]

Watched the full video, you have an amazing voice for narration 👍🏼

I watched this whole episode, it’s really good. To be honest, his whole. Handel is one of the better travel and explore channels around that I have found. Definitely worth checking out.
