 Still prevails the practice of Endocannibalism among the Yanomami tribe,




a group of approximately 35,000 indigenous people who live in some 200 to 250 villages in the Amazon rainforest in the border between Venezuela and Brazil. 


Endocannibalism is the practice of eating the flesh of dead person from the same community ,tribe or society. 


So many bizarre cultures exist in the world,is so very difficult to understand. One of the most primitive tribes in the world continues to practice Endocannibalism as a way to keep it's late loved ones alive.


Not easily influenced by modernisation or westernization, but rather still practice their culture, the Yanomami tribe in South America are also known as Yanam or Senema are a native tribe that believe that the soul needs to be protected after the body dies. They believe that the soul can only rest properly and make its transition only when the body has been burned and the body eaten by the living relatives.


Death for them is not a natural occurrence. They allow the body to decompose by covering them with leaves for about 30 to 45 days.The bones are then collected for cremation ceremony. During the cremation, you can hear them crying or singing for days together. 


After the cremation, they collect the ashes for a soup.They believe that consuming the dead ashes keep the deceased 's spirit alive for the next generations. The deceased can't find peace in the spirit world until the family have the soup.


For the soup,the deceased 's ashes mixed with fermented bananas and the soup is filled in a gourd and passed on for the entire community to eat.

THE BREEDING FARMS OF HELL: AMERICA'S MOST DEPRAVED SLAVERY SECRETS THAT STILL HAUNT HUMANITY

THE BREEDING FARMS OF HELL: AMERICA'S MOST DEPRAVED SLAVERY SECRETS THAT STILL HAUNT HUMANITY Most people learn about slavery in two short textbook pages: cotton fields, plantations, Abraham Lincoln, and freedom. But the real history was far darker and more horrifying than any classroom ever dared to reveal. Behind the elegant white columns of Southern plantations lay a calculated system of cruelty, profit, and the systematic destruction of human souls. Enslaved people were not merely workers—they were livestock. Across Virginia and other states, entire farms existed for one purpose only: breeding human beings like cattle. Men were forced to impregnate dozens of women, their bodies treated as breeding tools. Children born from these forced unions were recorded in ledgers as property, valued like horses or pigs, and sold off for maximum profit. Families were deliberately torn apart. Mothers watched in agony as their babies were ripped from their arms and auctioned to strangers. Newb...

๐Ÿ˜ข SLAVE BREEDING ๐Ÿ˜ข

๐Ÿ˜ข SLAVE  BREEDING ๐Ÿ˜ข Slave breeding was one of the most brutal and dehumanizing practices during the era of slavery, yet it remains one of the least talked about. After the trans-Atlantic slave trade was banned in 1808, enslavers in America began relying heavily on forced reproduction to increase their labor force. Enslaved men and women were paired against their will, treated like property, and valued only for their physical strength and ability to produce more enslaved children. Strong and healthy men were often targeted and forced into roles where their bodies were used purely for breeding. They had no choice, no freedom, and no control over their personal lives. Enslaved women suffered deeply as well, enduring repeated pregnancies, emotional trauma, and the constant fear of losing their children. Many mothers watched helplessly as their babies—and even older children—were taken away to be sold for profit, with no consideration for the bonds of family or humanity. This cruel sy...

1890S WOMAN CARRYING CHARCOAL

 1890S WOMAN CARRYING CHARCOAL A very cheerful Japanese working woman, with one of her breasts exposed, is carrying three huge packs of charcoal on what appears to be a country road. During the summer, women in the countryside often had much of their body exposed when they worked. Many men wore only a loincloth. Even in the city. This was especially the case for laborers and poor farmers. Prudish Western visitors, used to Victorian morality, generally were greatly shocked by all this nudity and frequently wrote about it in their diaries and letters. Nineteenth-century English travel-writer Isabella Lucy Bird (1831-1904), who in 1887 (Meiji 20) travelled deep into Japan’s heartland, described in her book Unbeaten Tracks her surprise upon seeing the scarce clothing of the people: I write the truth as I see it, and if my accounts conflict with those of tourists who write of the Tokaido and Nakasendo, of Lake Biwa and Hakone, it does not follow that either is inaccurate. But truly this...
