OMG!!!!! MEET THE TRIBE WHO PRESERVE THEIR DEAD RELATIVES BY SMOKING THE

If you think you've seen or heard about the most bizarre traditions practiced around the world, then you may have a seat, you're in for a surprise.

A tribe has been discovered in Indonesia where the dead are not buried but smoked over an open fire and kept as mummies for a long time.
The Dani tribe resides in an extremely remote area of Papua province in a town named Wamena ocated amidst Cyclops mountains only accessible by air travel, as there are no roads leading inland. There is an estimated 250,000 Dani that live in the region according to The Globe and Mail.Daily Star reports that the Dani people from the central highlands of western New Guinea, Indonesia, have been able to preserve their dead for centuries with smoke.

And though the technique is no longer in use, a tribe in Wogi – a village close to the regional capital, Wamena – has held on to a number of mummies.
According to tradition in that region, smoking someone over a fire for weeks, or even months, is the ultimate show of respect for the deceased in Dani culture, and has an added benefit.
In recent years, this bizarre culture has brought tourists to this isolated part of Indonesia, more than 2,000 miles from the capital, Jakarta.
Visitors can also get a glimpse of Dani trad
itions at Baliem Valley Festival, an annual event with mock battles between tribes.
The Dani tribe was first encountered by explorers in 1909, when they played host to a Dutch expedition in one village for several nights.
One part of the tribe, the Grand Valley Dani, remained undiscovered until 1938 when an American spotted them from a plane.
