Sin dalla notte dei tempi, la scarificazione - l'incisione dei segni sul tuo corpo - è una pratica dolorosa ancora oggi ritualizzata in molte terre africane. Presso le popolazioni Taneka, nelle montagne Atakora del Benin dove questa immagine è stata scattata, questa pratica simboleggia l'appartenenza ad un particolare gruppo etnico. Quando sei nato in un gruppo etnico, devi "indossare" il marchio di questo gruppo sul tuo corpo, è necessario essere integrato nella tribù. Quindi tutti i bambini, quando raggiungono due o tre anni, vengono tagliati in faccia con una serie intricata di linee utilizzando uno strumento di ferro. Gli anziani dicono che un bambino senza questi segni non è "umano" e se non ricevono i tagli, o se il bambino muore prima che sia in grado di ricevere i loro segni tribali, non possono essere sepolti nel cimitero del villaggio.

Say Max :-P?!?! I'm not so sure, actually... Perhaps it was still too early (I had to study it more :-|), or perhaps too late (I had to study first :-(), in any case now I can only try to improve.
Anyway thank you so much for your encouragement, Max.
