La tribù Simbu è un etnia che vive negli altopiani centrali della Papua Nuova Guinea. Il soggetto ritratto in questa foto ne fa parte. Si chiama Ben e dopo averci accompagnato lungo un sentiero che conduceva sulla sommità di una montagna sacra, ci ha spiegato come in quel luogo venissero giustiziati i nemici catturati negli scontri con altre tribù. I malcapitati, una volta uccisi, venivano mangiati e le loro ossa disperse lungo un crinale del monte. Oggi sulla sommità dello stesso capeggia un enorme croce di metallo, simbolo della cristianizzazione introdotta in queste culture primitive. Fortunatamente alcune usanze dei Simbu si sono mantenute, e se al giorno d'oggi il cannibalismo è una pratica quasi scomparsa perché scoraggiata dalla legge e dalla religione, almeno i costumi locali, le danze e i racconti dei tempi passati vengono mantenuti vivi. Riguardo al cannibalismo, un vecchio ci ha raccontato che la carne degli occidentali era una delle meno pregiate, molto meglio quella dei giapponesi perché più dolce, ma a suo dire la più buona di tutte era quella delle donne papuane. Nella foto Ben esegue una sorta di danza della guerra sul sottile crinale, sotto di lui uno strapiombo di un centinaio di metri.

The photo and 'beautiful and the description that you did it and' just let us know and thank you ethnicities,
that still exist, and few know it. The description you made about the taste of human flesh,
I was a bit 'puzzled and I' came to mind an incident that occurred in my country, when a man fell into the
hearth and 'burned to death and I had spent the afternoon in front of his house next to mine, and, as it were now
I felt a smell as if they were roasting a pig and find out that it was qull'uomo, it still makes me shudder.
Sorry if I told you this, I do not know if I was right. If it does not, tell me that gate.
Hello, Lully

Great photo, but her face in shadow disturbs me a little. ' I tried to lighten it.
