Achtung! Members of the ethnographic expedition "African Ring" found in wild forests Tanzania is a tribe of cannibals who speak Russian.
The expedition was carried out on three KamAZ cross-country vehicles through 27 African countries. During the research work, the participants collected and documented information about the most significant values of the peoples of Africa - traditions, rituals, customs and other features of the indigenous population of the "black continent".
The researchers found a tribe of Russian-speaking black cannibals in East Africa, near the border of Tanzania in difficult terrain. The primitive tribe is quite aggressive, in the customs of the natives - eating human flesh. Most strikingly, these cruel savages, as it turned out, not only speak Russian, but use it at the same time the purest sample XIX century. As Alexander Zheltov, a representative of St. Petersburg University, reported, "the tribe speaks the purest, beautiful Russian language of the nobles of the 19th century, which was spoken by Pushkin and Tolstoy."
The men of the tribe are very dangerous, as they perceive all people solely as food. During contact with Russian-speaking cannibals, members of the expedition kept weapons ready for self-defense. However, the head of the tribe understood that the conflict with white people was not beneficial to him. The tribe is armed primitive weapons, and each member of the expedition had a hunting rifle with her. It is obvious that in the event of a mess, the already shrinking tribe (only 72 people) would have been all killed.
Expedition leader Alexander Zheltov also said that when a tribe of cannibals offered guests to try them specialty of the house“The meat of the enemy roasted at the stake,” they asked, “Would you like to eat, dear guests?” When the members of the expedition refused, the cannibals lamented: "Oh, how sorry we are, right."
In total, the members of the expedition spent half a day visiting the tribe of Russian-speaking cannibals. To all the questions of astonished scientists, why primitive savages speak Russian XIX century, no answers have been received. The leader of the tribe only modestly remarked that "from time immemorial our tribe speaks this powerful, beautiful and great language," A. Zheltov conveys the words of the leader of the tribe.
It is likely that his cultural heritage and offspring were left by the Cossacks, led by Ataman Ashinov, who landed along with the intelligentsia and a religious mission on the coast of Africa in 1889. Or maybe the Russians have been there before and have inherited it. After all, in the wild lands there, even one King of Africaknsky looked like Alexander Sergeevich, which earned him the nickname "Pushkin".
At an altitude of 5000 meters in the jungle papua new guinea the Yali tribe lives, the number of which reaches about 20 thousand people. This tribe is notorious for its staunch adherence to cannibalism and its savagery. True, in Lately Yali seems to have taken the path of correction, but they stopped eating only white people, a person with a different skin color may well become a festive snack too ...
Whites are no longer eaten
To eat the flesh of an enemy in this tribe has always been considered a great valor: they believed that by eating their enemy, the warrior receives his strength, dexterity, cunning and intelligence. The process of transferring the merits of the enemy was especially successful if the killer knew his name. That is why travelers and tourists are strongly advised not to give their name when visiting the territory of Yali. The one who named the name becomes doubly attractive to the cannibal.
Of course, now manifestations of cannibalism have become rare, missionaries and government officials have made great efforts to eradicate this terrible custom. Yali decided not to eat whites anymore: not only White color they associate with death, so they also seriously took the doctrine of Christ. But the Japanese journalist, who recently disappeared in the jungle on the lands of the yali, they did not seem to have mercy. Veterans from the cannibal past of the tribe still recall with nostalgia the recipes for cooking the killed enemy.
According to them, the real delicacy is the human buttocks. Let's hope that they will never come across a beauty with a silicone fifth point, because the hearts of savages simply cannot stand this ... However, this is already from the field of black humor.
Until now, only real travelers - extreme people dare to visit the territory of residence of this tribe, because there are rumors that the Yalis periodically recall their cannibal habits. The Yalis justify their “offences” by the fact that they did not kill anyone, but ate the already dead. They explain the disappearance of people in their area by accidents - they drowned in stormy rivers, fell into the abyss, and the like.
Many believe that such explanations should not be particularly trusted, and in a matter of decades it is very difficult to eradicate habits that are thousands of years old.
The Indonesian authorities, of course, are not only trying to completely eradicate the manifestations of cannibalism among the Yali, but also to introduce them to civilization. To this end, the government at one time offered all the Yalis to move to the valley, they were promised building materials, a plot of land, a supply of rice, and even a free TV in every house. The Yalis accepted this idea without enthusiasm, and when 18 of the first 300 settlers died of malaria, they began to refuse to leave their native jungle. In addition, they complained about the rotten houses and the barrenness of the allocated plots.
It ended up that the program was canceled, and the yali remained to live on the land of their ancestors.
Case for manhood
Now, as in past decades, main force missionaries remain who introduce the Yali to civilization. They bring medicines to the savages, teach and treat their children, build bridges and even small hydroelectric power stations, and prepare landing sites for helicopters. All this greatly facilitates the life of the tribe, which, while maintaining its originality, nevertheless becomes more civilized every day. However, those who nevertheless ventured to visit the yali and observe the Papuans in all their primeval glory are unlikely to be disappointed.
Yalis still flaunt their traditional attire. Women are almost naked, they wear only small skirts made of plant fibers. The "outfit" of men is much more curious, they do not have loincloths, only in the causal place is a special case called halim, which they make from dried bottle gourd. It is curious that the process of making halims is rather complicated and was clearly developed in time immemorial.
While the pumpkin is growing, stones are tied to it, tied with thin vines, all this is done to obtain the most elongated and bizarre shape. Dried gourds are decorated with shells and feathers; local dandies have several of these cases. On holidays and especially solemn days, the strong half of the tribe uses longer halims, in which the warriors manage to store even tobacco.
The main thing in the house is a pig
Both women and men are very popular with various jewelry, mainly beads and shells. The Yali tribe has rather curious concepts about beauty, there are numerous references to the fact that two front teeth are knocked out to local beauties to make them as attractive as possible. Yali men are real dandies: in addition to intricate halims, they decorate themselves with other bells and whistles.
Here is what our traveler Valery Kemenov writes about this: “Yali men wear much more various decorations than women. They insert boar fangs into their noses, wear a variety of medallions and wicker caps. Previously, they were made from natural fibers, but with the advent of civilization, the Papuans began to buy nylon threads at the bazaar.”
You should not think that the food of the yali has always been obtained only by hunting and gathering, in their household there are pigs, chickens and even opossums. In addition, they are quite successful in agriculture, growing sweet potatoes (sweet potatoes), bananas, taro rhizome, corn and tobacco. Like many neighboring tribes, the economy special value represent pigs. For a good fat boar, you can buy yourself a wife here, and because of a stolen pig, an armed conflict between the tribes may well break out even with a cannibal component.
Cooking takes place right on the ground, on several hot stones. If there is a joint meal of friendly clans, the most tidbits are distributed according to the status of the guests present. In such cases, it is customary to exchange gifts, all this strengthens intertribal relations, both economically and militarily.
Hooked on dry vermicelli
The Yalis were mostly indifferent to modern products; True, they thoroughly sat down on the dry Mivina vermicelli. They acquire it in the town of Wamena closest to their lands. Some yali, alas, are addicted to "fire water" and gradually become an inveterate drunkard. It takes three days to walk to Wamena, but this does not stop the Papuans, who are eager for the blessings of civilization. In addition to vermicelli, they buy knives, shovels, machetes, mugs, pots, pots and pans at the city market. In order to get money for the tools and things they need, the yalis sell sweet potatoes and corn grown by them, as well as various handicrafts that are popular with tourists.
Although civilization is getting closer and closer to the isolated world of Yali, the tribe still manages to maintain its identity. All Papuans go to the local shaman for amulets and healing decoctions, the dead warriors are smoked, and their mummies are stored in the men's house, where access to outsiders is strictly prohibited. Women from early morning until late at night work in gardens, look after children and pets, and cook food. The men go hunting, clearing jungle land for new vegetable gardens, making pens for livestock and fences around vegetable gardens. In the evening, fed by women, they sit by the fire, smoke and exchange impressions about the past day. Yali believe that the spirits of their ancestors will surely protect them from all future misfortunes and hardships; maybe it will be like that?

Yali is the wildest and dangerous tribe cannibals in the 21st century, numbering more than 20,000 people. In their opinion, cannibalism is a common thing and there is nothing special about it, eating the enemy is a virtue for them, and not the most cruel way of reprisal. Their leader says that this is the same as a fish eats a fish, the one who is stronger wins. For yali, this is to some extent a ritual, during which the power of the enemy he eats passes to the winner.
The government of New Guinea is trying to fight the inhuman addictions of its wild citizens. Yes, and their adoption of Christianity influenced their psychological perception- significantly reduced the number of cannibal feasts.
The most experienced warriors remember cooking recipes from enemies. With imperturbable calmness, one can even say with pleasure, they say that the buttocks of the enemy are the most delicious part of a person, for them this is a true delicacy!
Even now, the inhabitants of Yali believe that pieces of human flesh enrich them spiritually, eating the victim with the pronunciation of the name of the enemy gives special strength. Therefore, having visited the most terrible place on the planet, it is better not to pronounce your name to the savages, so as not to provoke them into the ritual of your eating.
Recently, the Yali tribe believes in the existence of the savior of all mankind - Christ, therefore they do not eat people with white skin. The reason for this is that the white color is associated in the inhabitants with the color of death. However, recently there was an incident - in Irian Jaya, as a result of strange events, a Japanese correspondent disappeared. Probably, they do not consider people with yellow and black skin to be servants of an old woman with a scythe.
Since the time of colonization, the life of the tribe has not changed much, as well as the attire of these jet-black citizens of New Guinea. Yali women are almost completely naked, their daytime attire consists only of a skirt with vegetable fibers. Men, in turn, go naked, covering reproductive organ case (halim), which is made from dried bottle gourd. According to them, the process of making clothes for men requires great skills.
As the pumpkin grows, a weight in the form of a stone is tied to it, which is strengthened with threads of vines to give an interesting shape. At the final stage of cooking, the pumpkin is decorated with feathers and shells. It is worth noting that Halim also serves as a "purse" in which men store roots and tobacco. The inhabitants of the tribe also love decorations made of shells and beads. But the perception of beauty in them is peculiar. For example, they knock out the front two teeth of local beauties in order to make them even more attractive.
The noble, beloved and only occupation of men is hunting. And yet in the villages of the tribe you can find livestock - chickens, pigs and opossums, which are watched by women. It also happens that several clans hold large-scale meals at once, where everyone has his own place and is taken into account. social status every savage in terms of food distribution. Alcoholic drinks they do not take, but use the bright red flesh of the batel nut - for them it is a local drug, so tourists can often see them with a red mouth and blurred eyes ...
During the period of joint meals, clans exchange gifts. Although the Yalis cannot be called very hospitable people, they will accept gifts from guests with great pleasure. In a special way, they appreciate bright shirts and shorts. The peculiarity is that they put shorts on their heads, and use a shirt as a skirt. This is due to the fact that they do not contain soap, the result of which will be that unwashed clothes can cause skin diseases over time.
Even though the Yalis have officially stopped feuding with neighboring tribes and eating victims, only the most "frostbitten" adventurers can go to these inhuman parts of the world. According to the stories of this area, savages still sometimes allow themselves to carry out barbaric acts of eating the flesh of enemies. But to justify their actions, they invent different stories about the fact that the victim either drowned or crashed from a cliff.
The Government of New Guinea has developed powerful program on bodybuilding and raising the standard of living of the inhabitants of the island, including this tribe. According to the plan hill tribes should be resettled in the valley, while the officials promised the settlers to give an adequate supply of rice and building materials and free TV in every house.
The citizens of the valley were forced to wear Western clothing in government buildings and schools. The government has even taken measures such as declaring the territory of the savages a national park where hunting is prohibited. Naturally, the Yalis began to oppose the resettlement, since out of the first 300 people, 18 died and this was in the very first month (from malaria).
An even greater disappointment to the surviving settlers was what they saw - they were allocated barren land, rotten houses. As a result, the government's strategy collapsed and the settlers returned to their beloved mountainous regions, where they still live, rejoicing in the "protection of the spirits of their ancestors."

The Yali tribe: the most cruel cannibals of our time February 25th, 2013

The government of New Guinea has developed a powerful program for bodybuilding and raising the standard of living of the inhabitants of the island, including this tribe. The plan is for the hill tribes to relocate to the valley, with officials promising to provide the settlers with an ample supply of rice and building materials, as well as a free TV in every home.

Even more disappointing to the surviving settlers was what they saw - they were given barren land, rotten houses. As a result, the government's strategy collapsed and the settlers returned to their beloved mountainous regions, where they still live, rejoicing in the "protection of the spirits of their ancestors."
The last cannibals are known to live in Papua New Guinea. Here they still live according to the rules adopted 5 thousand years ago: men go naked, and women cut off their fingers. There are only three tribes still engaged in cannibalism, these are Yali, Vanuatu and Carafai. Carafai (or tree people) - the most cruel tribe. They eat not only warriors of foreign tribes, lost locals or tourists, but also all their dead relatives. The name "tree people" got from their houses, which are incredibly high (see the last 3 pictures). The Vanuatu tribe is peaceful enough not to be eaten by a photographer, a few pigs are brought to the leader. Yali are formidable warriors (Yali's photos start at photo 9). The phalanges of the fingers of a woman of the Yali tribe are cut off with an ax as a sign of grief for the deceased or deceased relative.
Most main holiday Yali is the festival of death. Women and men paint their bodies in the form of a skeleton. On the feast of death earlier, perhaps they do it now, they killed the shaman and the leader of the tribe ate his warm brain. This was done in order to satisfy Death and imbibe the knowledge of the shaman to the leader. Now Yali people are killed less often than usual, mainly if there was a crop failure or for some other "important" reasons.
Hungry cannibalism, which is preceded by murder, is regarded in psychiatry as a manifestation of the so-called hungry insanity.
Also known is domestic cannibalism, not dictated by the need for survival and not provoked by hungry insanity. IN judicial practice such cases do not qualify as premeditated murder with particular cruelty.
With the exception of these not too common cases, the word "cannibalism" often comes to mind nevertheless insane ritual feasts, during which the victorious tribes devour the body parts of their enemies in order to gain their strength; or another well-known useful "application" of this phenomenon: the heirs thus treat the bodies of their fathers in the pious hope that they will be reborn in the body of their flesh-eaters.
The most "cannibalistic" strange modern world is Indonesia. In this state there are two famous centers of mass cannibalism - part of the island belonging to Indonesia New Guinea and the island of Kalimantan (Borneo). The jungles of Kalimantan are inhabited by 7-8 million Dayaks, famous skull hunters and cannibals.
The most delicious parts of the body are considered to be the head - tongue, cheeks, skin from the chin, the brain extracted through the nasal cavity or ear opening, meat from the thighs and calves, heart, palms. The initiators of the crowded campaigns for skulls among the Dayaks are women.
The latest surge in cannibalism in Borneo occurred at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, when the Indonesian government tried to organize the colonization of the interior of the island by the forces of civilized immigrants from Java and Madura. The unfortunate peasant settlers and the soldiers who accompanied them were mostly slaughtered and eaten. Until recently, cannibalism persisted on the island of Sumatra, where the Batak tribes ate criminals sentenced to death and incapacitated old people.
An important role in the almost complete elimination of cannibalism in Sumatra and some other islands was played by the activities of the "father of Indonesian independence" Sukarno and the military dictator Suharto. But even they could not improve the situation in Irian Jaya, Indonesian New Guinea, one iota. The Papuan ethnic groups living there, according to missionaries, are obsessed with a passion for human flesh and are distinguished by unparalleled cruelty.
They especially prefer the human liver with medicinal herbs, penises, noses, tongues, meat from the thighs, feet, breasts. In the eastern part of the island of New Guinea, in independent state In Papua New Guinea, much less evidence of cannibalism is recorded.
