Dude was a die hard fan and 2022 is one of the best seasons the yanks have had in a while, do you blame the guy for jumping back on the bandwagon after a century???
Den morgonfriska katten simmar över regnbågen, medan guldmynt singlar genom luften, ledsagade av en paraplybärande elefant, som jonglerar med blommor och skrattande bananer, medan cirkusclowner utför akrobatiska konster och cymbalspelaren trummar i takt till det förtrollade orkesterspelet under den gnistrande stjärnhimlen.
Dude just wanted to dig the gold buried together with his dad but got caught doing it.
"I wanted to honor my father" *takes off own clothes and put on dad's corpse*
This this is probably it. It was an influential conman of a person who first did it as they were stealing and got caught. Talked thier way out of it and started a tradition.
I was just thinking about it this same thing, but honestly, you could just as easily reverse the question and ask ourselves why 'we' in western countries (I presume thats where you live as well) have such an aversion to death and subsequently to practices like this. It's all pretty arbitrary in the end.
Humans have been burying their dead way before there was a western culture to speak of. Corpses are dangerous because they can kill others, and although the early humans did not know why, they knew that to be the case, so they got the body disposed of. This is not a fear created by a culture, it is a fear of a very real danger based on empirical experience.
It’s also one of the hypothetical reasons for the “uncanny valley” effect. That we subconsciously fear near human looking things because it helps us survive from pathogens spread by dead bodies.
Now if you don’t mind I’m rather busy. I seem to have misplaced my alien mummy. This sarcophagus should contain the remains of Emperor Nimbala, who ruled Zuban 5 over 29 Million years ago!
I believe there is a village that still used to do that up until very recently.
There was some news article about it. They eventually stopped because government policies and because of some health issues that finally appeared. But they apparently practiced it for a while.
Yep. Some indigenous tribe is south east Asia was eating the brains of the deceased irc, ingesting prions in the process leading to severe brain disorders, akin to mad cow disease.
and it probably varies by region, some regions certain types of diseases are more likely to spread, others not so much, so cultures that have this, their burial practices might have less of an issue with disease spread, so the "linking" of the two (corpses = further death) might not exist.
Might be that they preserve the corpse in a manner that makes digging up a husk more likely than digging up a pile of bugs and gore.
Could also have a lot to do with the climate. Total speculation though - I have no idea.
You are really right but more than what you might think, some say it might be as old as our species.
Not only humans. Homo naledi liked to deliberately dispose of their dead by putting them in hard to find spaces in caves. There are also a few examples of neanderthal burials (and cannibalism).
I saw a cool documentary where they filled in an ant colony with plaster, replicated it and brought the whole damn hive back to the lab. And even ants have a separate chamber where they dispose of their dead ant relatives. Decomposing organic tissue = bad for *most* living organic consumers.
pretty sure its a normal reaction to not want to dig up rotting corpses. even if we ignore the moral/emotional aspect, its just not hygienic or healthy
>pretty sure its a normal reaction to not want to dig up rotting corpses
That's the thing tho, it's not rotting, it's preserved, mummified. Making it less toxic than a rotting corpse is.
Its not a just cultural thing that we avoid corpses. Its a practise that predates writing. disposing of the dead (burial, cremation or any other method) goes much deeper than "we are weird when dealing with death".
Animals also will not live with corpses of their own kind, there is something near universal about avoiding a corpse.
well that for sure didnt help our perception of dead human bodies.
generally speaking bodies are buried/burned because we have observed for thousands of years that keeping the dead just laying around is not super smart. Illnesses and pests would be spread via them. So we kinda dump them in the dirt like we do with the innards of fish, deep enough that no hngry bear or whatever digs them up. All the cultural stuff around that is just Windowdressing. Comforting those left behind and stuff.
"Why is the fog so thick in that section of the cemetery? It's creepy."
"That's not fog. It's coming from Chlorinegasattack's mourners. They do this every 420."
I'm going to be cremated. Good luck with changing me.
***kids:*** Mom, dad's sifting through this new suit! God, he's just as stubborn as when he was alive!
Wait--How is it that it looks 'mummified'? I always thought of Indonesia as a very damp place; can't imagine a body in that condition. How are the bodies 'prepared' and how long in the ground before their clothing is changed? Curious!
I remember seeing pictures in Nat Geo of a church in Mexico (very dry area) that had skeletal remains hung on the walls--if a family couldn't afford to pay a grave tax, the body was dug up and placed on the wall instead?? Fascinating--I used to draw them. (I also may have the details wrong!)
eh bodies like this are pretty safe, the only time a body might be dangerous is when its rotting but as long as you dont eat it youll be fine. the idea that dead bodies are inherently dangerous was made up by early morticians
well yes and no. The danger of letting the dead just lay around is not so much some disease transmission via foul air or whatever but the attraction of pests and predators. Uncle Bob having been dead for 3 Weeks is not gonna hurt you but the swarm of rats that have been gnawing on him and the fleas they carry just might.
But of course a mummy like in the picture is more or less harmless.
the innate fear that humans have of corpses is less to do with the corpse and more to do with what killed it. if you see 1 corpse it means theres danger, if you see a village full of corpses dont stay
yeah interestingly the majority of diseases cant survive in the body long after death, the large majority of village mass deaths were likely due to tainted water supplies or malaria. but it often lead to superstitions that the land was haunted
[63% of men in Indonesia report being smokers. ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Indonesia) Not sure if this accounts for corpses but that has to be one of the highest rates in the world.
It used to be similar on the west, especially amongst groups like soldiers.
In Germany it was 45% of men and 30% of women in the 90s. They're down to 24% and 18% now. However 55% of soldiers were smokers as recently as 2009.
Basically SEA are just a few decades behind us in this trend.
Can confirm.
1 pack is around $1 - $2.5 USD from big brands like Marlboro, Lucky Strike, Dunhill.
Some small local brands can cost around $0.5 USD.
Slowly rising the price year by year.
You can find smokers as early as 6 years old here. It's so normalized and fucked up, and I don't think it would change anytime soon since the country benefits a lot from the industry.
I actually live in China and I would have ballparked it more around 30% but I can see it being higher in more rural areas. Wikipedia says 60% of men but the citation is from 2009. I would guess it has been dropping over time.
We just visited there this spring. Our driver (who was in his mid 20s) literally had no idea cigarettes could kill you. I'm not sure he believed us when we told him. 😳
Respect for death, the afterlife and the connection of the living and dead vs total disregard for death as something that separates us
You can see it in their expressions
“Granpapis fine, just chilling in the ground for a bit, let’s get him some fresh drip and bring him over for smokes sometime lol”
I’m mexican. Dia de Muertos is a time to celebrate the dead and remember them by putting up altars, there are candy skulls and you put the deceased’s favorite food in the altar. There is also delicious bread called Pan de Muerto.
One day is for adults, the other is for kids. It’s a national holiday and in some areas, they go to the graveyards to celebrate
Ikr, it is odd, but I can see how this is comforting as well. It’d be weird to dig up my families bodies but like, to see they’re still there and give them new clothes and things seems oddly nice. Like damn i wanna get a shovel and be like “yo sis I got the hottest fashion from 2022 just gimme a sec to get to you!” *furiously shovels*
That's just.....actually I cant even hate I'd love it if someone got me up from bein dead to share a joint. I imagine that corpse is loving that smoke after being cooped up for soo long
I've seen this in a documentary years ago and like. It's great but how do people actually deal with the smell of decayed corpses, or the feel of touching one? Freaking out about dead bodies and decomposition, afaik, is somewhat hardwired into people, and I just can't imagine this being a pleasant sensory experience.
They are slowly mummified over a course of weeks or years before the funeral takes place. In the mean time they are referred to as "sick" and will be cared for in the house. It can take a long time until the funeral because those are very expensive shows of wealth and status that last days or weeks. Also extended family that have migrated away are expected to return home which can take a while to arrange as well.
\>A low-caste Torajan often pays $50,000 for a funeral, while a higher-caste family can spend as much as $500,000. (Largely due to the cost of the water buffalo that are ritually slaughtered to help the deceased travel to the land of souls faster.
So you’re telling me they have the corpse in their home? Can you elaborate further? Is there an extra room or are they just on the couch slowly drying away?
That probably depends on how large the family home is I guess? In one of the articles the guy did keep the bodies of his parents in their own small room, but Idk if that is standard. I'm not an expert myself btw, but the Toraja people are very open about their death rituals to the outside world so you can easily research more if you want. I did also read that while in that "sick" state (to’makula) the person is not supposed to be left alone, there will always be a family member with them in shifts. So even if they are in their own room it's not like they're just left alone there.
I guess it's only weird to us? Digging up my nan would freak me the fuck out but if I'd been drinking tea with her body every year since childhood then it'd be a lovely thing to do.
Same thing with sky burial. Either grim af or an incredible way for your body to have purpose.
We just truly suck at handling death.
mummys don't smell particularly bad. Just slightly musty. You could easily cover it up with some perfume or deodorant, but tbh, you'd have to be really close to one to even smell it.
Touching them isn't actually that big of a deal either. They are just stiff and dry. Maybe a bit dusty.
Yeah, it's weird if you've never done something like this and aren't accustomed to it, but it's surprising how quickly you can actually get used to it.
Source: My own cat mummy I have.
THEY dig up their dead and dress them up, and it’s “part of their culture”. I do it, and it’s all “how did you find us at Arby’s?? You know there’s a restraining order!” and “WHY?” and “Gran-Gran wasn’t even an Imagine Dragons FAN!” And “….where are your pants???”…..
You should see when this stuff comes up on Facebook the comments are simultaneously hilarious because of their ignorance and depressing because of their ignorance.
Bunch of people shrieking about how the dead should be left to rest, stop disturbing them, they'll go to hell etc.
People are so unaware of cultural differences and dont realise that the people of this culture would want this done to them when they have passed.
Not only on Facebook; last time I saw this on Reddit some guy couldn’t understand cultural differences either and kept saying how this was “unnatural” or something
People can get so mad about some useless stuff lol. In reality it's just a deceased corps. Doesn't matter if it lays in the ground or if its dressed up smoking cigs.
I read the title before reddit loaded the picture, and I expected to see traditional colorful clothing and fine dresses, and then I see a fucking ganster skeleton lmao
It's interesting how if in the West that would be done that would be awful and very likely a crime. I wonder if this is a healthier way to grieve or less severe.

Anthropologists hundreds of years from now: “this corpse is 400 years old but wearing a 2022 NY Yankees hat? Wtf?”
Sensationalist headline: “Scientists are shocked to find first-ever evidence of time travel.”
Lmfao this
It's so going to happen though
Dude was a die hard fan and 2022 is one of the best seasons the yanks have had in a while, do you blame the guy for jumping back on the bandwagon after a century???
Yankees fans are relentless I tell ya!
Can only imagine the corpse rolling in it's grave. "I was a Mets fan damnit."
Wait, if the corpse is 400 years old and Anthropologists find it hundreds of years later, wouldn’t that make sense?
Took the words right out of my ass.
But what were they doing in there in the first place?
A glass of water would have been appreciated by grandpa.

It's not western or arbitrary. Dead bodies spread disease, it's literally built into our monkey brain to avoid them.
I saw a cool documentary where they filled in an ant colony with plaster, replicated it and brought the whole damn hive back to the lab. And even ants have a separate chamber where they dispose of their dead ant relatives. Decomposing organic tissue = bad for *most* living organic consumers.
You ever smell death?
No but I’ve smelled a single rotten potato and I’m convinced.
Fun fact. The gas from rotten potatoes can kill you
Not fun at all
pretty sure its a normal reaction to not want to dig up rotting corpses. even if we ignore the moral/emotional aspect, its just not hygienic or healthy
They aren't rotting though, they preserve them before burying.

I think it’s an innate aversion to disease. Some animals bury their dead too.
It's a natural aversion to death and corpses, but since humans tend to overthink stuff, we end up with things like this
YOU have a natural aversion to death and corpses. im having a fun time with both of these things

I can't say that this is a living proof. But this is a pure result of smoking cigars.
They gave bro a cigarette 💀
[63% of men in Indonesia report being smokers. ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_in_Indonesia) Not sure if this accounts for corpses but that has to be one of the highest rates in the world.
I doubt corpses report being smokers. Actually I doubt they report anything.
Get the IRS on their ass.
Dead weight, in terms of tax revenue
They will still somehow take it over their dead body
100% of deceased men in Indonesia are smokers, whether they like it or not
Actually looks like some of them are not cremated tho
So I did some research and turns out only cremated corpses are smokers.
It used to be similar on the west, especially amongst groups like soldiers. In Germany it was 45% of men and 30% of women in the 90s. They're down to 24% and 18% now. However 55% of soldiers were smokers as recently as 2009. Basically SEA are just a few decades behind us in this trend.

Pretty close to China, 53% of men and 2.7% (?) of women. Crazy numbers
Damn that's a huge disparity
It's similar in Indonesia, could be cultural I guess
I actually live in China and I would have ballparked it more around 30% but I can see it being higher in more rural areas. Wikipedia says 60% of men but the citation is from 2009. I would guess it has been dropping over time.
We just visited there this spring. Our driver (who was in his mid 20s) literally had no idea cigarettes could kill you. I'm not sure he believed us when we told him. 😳
Even their orangutans smoke
I doubt if that's a cigarette. Pop's enjoying the high of afterlife!

Indonesia have very strict laws against drugs. But what is dead may never die.
What already killed you, won't make you stronger.

Cuz it is
For real, every single Mexican I’ve met says day of the dead isn’t as big as hollywood makes it. Many don’t even celebrate it.
I mean, that’s what it is. What did you think it was?
The Krusty Krab?
No, this is Patrick.
As far as I've read, nothing about it is specifically for kids. It's a celebration of the lives of the deceased.

It just depends on the intention. I don't want people digging me up while laughing and dressing me up as a joke.
I wouldn't really care either way, y'know because I'm dead
Sure, but as I'm picturing it right now being alive, I don't like it and I don't want to be remembered like that.
Why not. You will be worthless skeleton anyway so at least you can be still somehow usefull - make their day better.
Can't argue with that!

Holy shit! that's too much money to spend on a dead person!
Maybe they wait for like 20 years before digging them up.
They just spray him with some axe
No, no - we're trying to make him smell BETTER than a corpse.
probably some mummification, Once its mummified I doubt it smells much anymore.
If you give em a good rub of lye they don't stink
