In Papua New Guinea, there are certain tribes known for the practice of mummification, where deceased individuals are smoked to preserve their bodies. This practice is particularly associated with the Anga people, also known as the Kukukuku tribe, in the Morobe Province and some parts of the Eastern Highlands.

The mummification process involves smoking the bodies over a fire, which dries and preserves them. These mummified bodies are then placed in special sites, often caves or cliff faces, where they are venerated by the community. This tradition serves both a spiritual and cultural purpose, as the mummies are believed to hold protective powers and are a connection to the ancestors.

This unique practice is a significant part of the cultural heritage of these tribes, although it has become less common in recent times due to various external influences and changes within the communities.

My boy contemplating if he should add him to the group or not 😂

[bamerkah]

He's thinking.. I told this MF no filming 😂

As per the video link: these were people who didn't want to be buried when they passed. They wanted to be preserved, as in being smoked for weeks, then put here as their resting place.

❤This is a Kuku man from a golden valley of Bulolo Wau district Morobe Province in Papua New Guinea, a small pacific country. They don't bury the dead especially men. They keep them this way in a sitting position. The guy is one of those who take turns to watch the gate

As a Papua New Guinean 🇵🇬 this is just one of our many traditional history and culture. We have 22 provinces and 800+ languages. Our culture is so diverse.

[CarameloCandy-zvrq]

Omg!!!! You better run. I think he is changing his mind about all 😂😂😂😂😂

[Livelit]

"Social media has ruined everything, a brother can't even eat."

[JonnoPlays]

The part where there's zero context was fascinating

[Arcsecant]

That guy looking at him like he's trying to figure out what sauce he goes best with.

[jeremiahmorris]

He had that "bruh, I thought we talked about this" look. 😂

[fulahno]

Tribesmen they don't have the same social skills and sensitivity we have. That mean face hides a warm heart, people saying this guy is upset. This man brought him there, has been guiding him as an honest tour guide and showing their culture in a respectful way
