The Living Dead

The Tojara have very different funeral rites. They bury their dead in caves or tombs that are chiselled out of rock faces. Or in coffins hanging on the rock face.
Then the wealthy make Tau-Taus (models of the dead person) to put in front of the grave. The even wealthier build miniature tongkanons to display the body before it is buried.
But if a child dies before it gets any teeth then a hole is cut into a sacred tree and the body placed inside the hole and it is sewn back up.Läs mer
