A tribe holding the shrunken heads of their enemies. The process of shrinking heads were part of important rituals and was originally created for religious purposes by the tribes in the northwestern region of the Amazon rain forest. It was thought that shrinking the head of the enemy would harness the spirit and stop the soul from retaliating for his death...
that's really creepy. I was recently at a museum called The Museum of Man, and they had Peruvian shrunken heads in an exhibit about mummies
wow...
Interesting
Oh man...we just watched Lost City of Z. I can only imagine what explores went through when they crossed paths with some of these tribes. Especially those with the shrunken head beliefs. Needless to say, it took me a bit to fall asleep after this movie.
