The last primitive tribal cultural customs of Africa's traditional wildness

Because they are far away from the mortal world, the traditional customs of ancient African tribes remain almost intact, such as the Mursi people's lip spectacle, the Hamor people's coming-of-age rites, and girls 'enjoyment of men's bloody flogging on themselves. It is jaw-dropping.

I. Hamer Women The most beautiful Hamor people The beautiful women in the Omo Valley

come to a tribe with the lightest taste. The Hamer women are the most beautiful women in the tribe of the Omo Valley. Most of them are bare and wrapped in a piece of cowhide or sheepskin as a skirt. Their hair is braided into countless pigtails. Their bodies and hair are coated with a mixture of butter and earth, a shiny brown color, just like European women who lock themselves up in a solarium all day long. The effect.

Hamer The woman wears a necklace made of shells and beads around her neck, which is dazzling on her brown skin.

Most of them have beautiful features and elegant temperament. They always stand in a distance and look at you quietly, with calm and gentle eyes, without the wildness and trickery of other tribes.

Hamer tribe is polygamy. The collar on a woman's neck can be used to distinguish marital status and family status. Married women wear two thick collars around their necks, and a collar with a wooden rafter head protrudes from the bottom. Only the first wife has the right to wear them, and her status in the family is higher than other women.

2. The Kano people who Karo paints on his body are all weak, okay?

Kano people like to paint various patterns on their bodies and faces, and insert metal needles and other decorations under their lips., there is a shocking, harmonious and wild beauty. Kano women usually wear necklaces made of shells and stained glass beads. These necklaces are presented by their husbands and lovers, so the number of necklaces around a woman's neck can tell how popular she is.

a man in Kano asks for love to a woman, he wears clothes and brings beautiful feathers. If you are going to Africa for photography, it will be very romantic and shocking to take pictures of this scene.

3. Mursi's most self-abuse lip, ear, body carving, submachine gun... tribal pictures below the "Performance Artist"

will make people slightly uncomfortable!!!! If you can't bear it, your friends can slide quickly!!! The Mursi Moses people are much like natural performance artists and like to practice art on their own bodies. Their biggest feature!!! It is when a woman is about 16 years old that her lower teeth are removed, a knife is used to cut between the lower lip and the gums to separate the lower lip from the root of the tooth, and a clay lip disk is used to expand the lip. It hurts to think about it (compared with beauty, what is pain? All performance artists think so) The bigger the plate you place, the most beautiful it is, and the more betrothal gifts you will have. The largest lips can be turned over to the head and wrapped around the face. (The picture is too beautiful to look at.) It is said that this custom is to make tribal girls ugly and not be robbed by foreigners. But many girls have paid the price with their lives to wear lip discs.

Not only that, the

, the Morsi people not only put plates on their lips, but also lengthen their ears through the air to put them on the plates for beauty. The bigger the ear disc, the more beautiful it is. (=_= Can't worms fly into your ears? Why do you have to put plates in your ears? Ah! Is it time to serve food?!)

Moses woman's sense of color and shape is like the most dazzling and fashionable fashion designer in Paris. She uses horns, boar teeth, and even wild fruits as head ornaments. Moses men liked to paint patterns on their bodies. They all have AK-47s to prevent foreigners from raiding their precious cattle or strangers from entering the country illegally.

4. Konso follows the conservative Konso people guarding the Konso people's thatched hut for 3000 years. The roof is made of thatched grass and the walls are made of cow dung. They have lived here for 3000 years and have always followed the way of life of their ancestors. When the house cannot be used, it will be built in the same place and replaced with a new one. All the scenes we see now are exactly the same as thousands of years ago.

Konso people are mainly agriculture and understand watering and building terraces on slopes. They are the only tribe in Ethiopia with a king. The belief of the Kontho people centers on the worship of Waga WAGA. Waga is a woodcut made to commemorate the deceased. Most of them are erected in rows. The gender height and even age of the deceased are fully expressed on the woodcut. Konsuo culture is included in the World Heritage List. (Ah, this wife's cute teeth are so lifelike!)

5. Bodi, the Bodi people who regard fat as their beauty, have caught you. The most beautiful fat

Bodi tribe lives in a remote area of the Omo River Valley in Ethiopia, where the ancient Ka 'el ritual is maintained: a young unmarried man who displays his figure and selects the fattest person will not only receive a reward, but will also be regarded as a "hero" for life. Every boy in the Bodi tribe wants to be fat. On the day of the Ka 'el ceremony, the young men would come out of the hut, covered in clay and ash, and go to the venue of the ceremony. Many people are so obese that they can no longer walk.

During the ceremony, they would walk around a sacred tree for several hours to show off their fat figures. Once the fattest person is selected, the ceremony ends with beating a cow to death with a sacred stone. Tribal elders check the stomachs and blood of cattle to predict whether the future will be bright. After the ceremony, everyone's lives returned to normal, and the big bellies of most of the participating fat people returned to normal within a few weeks.

6. Doze uses leaves to build houses, everyone in the Duze tribe is a master architect. The thatched house that has not fallen for 100 years

This is a tribe living on the top of a mountain. Their house is the most special, looking like an elephant from a distance. It is built from the leaves of a plant that looks like a banana tree and locals call Enset. The house is ten meters high and lives with people and animals. The kitchen and storage room are in another room next to it.

The thatched hut can live for as long as a hundred years and is not afraid of wind and rain. The newly built elephant houses are all very tall. As time goes by, the damaged and rotting areas near the ground will be cut off layer by layer, and the houses will slowly become lower. If we lived in a house like this, there would be no house slaves.

7. Sidama, a tribe that prides itself on having a large number of cattle, hints that it doesn't agree with the

The Sidama people cannot find any information on Baidu. It seems that no Chinese has been there yet. In this tribe, people who do not have cattle will not be accepted by the tribe. The larger the number of cattle, the higher their status.

8. Erbor's friendliest and cleanest tribe, Omo River Valley men

Traveler Sugar Chica wrote, I think the most handsome man comes from Erbora, dressed cleanly, and his face is not white, white and clean, but black and clean. I have been fascinated by several people, haha! They are very friendly and shy. The most interesting thing is that people in Erbora get married in June. If this season comes, you can see wedding celebrations everywhere.

9. If Banna likes three-hair hairstyles, if you can encounter a grand Dimi ceremony to marry a daughter, the

Banna women are very similar to the Hamer people. The most prominent feature is that girls have a bright big belt, and boys like to make themselves into three-hair hairstyles, and then don't have a bunch of hair clips. Members of the BANNA tribe will hold a very grand ceremony called "Dimi" when their daughters get married, during which they sing and dance to worship the gods. They will also use white chalk, red iron ore and black charcoal to paint them on their faces. Decorate themselves. It is said that the Lips made themselves so ugly just to prevent the Banas from stealing women.

10. Tsemay tribal man who knows witchcraft mysteriously wears a veil

The hairstyles of the Tsemay tribal women are the most distinctive. From a distance, they are inconspicuous short hair, but from a closer look, they are countless braids, neatly scattered on their heads, and some are also buckled with gourd like things. I don't know whether they are used as good-looking hats or for protection from the sun. However, the yellow color of the gourd and the color of the animal skins on their bodies complement each other and are interesting in harmony. It is said that this is a tribe that is good at witchcraft, and the men are mysteriously covered in black veils.

Currently, the Omo Valley in Ethiopia is one of the few primitive tribal settlements in the world. The tribal culture here is well preserved, but this situation may change in the near future.

In ancient Greek,"Ethiopia" means "the place where people are tanned by the sun live." The civilization has a history of more than 3000 years, and both nature and humanity have preserved the "virgin body." There are more than 80 ethnic groups in Ethiopia, but there are about 50 tribes with the most African characteristics and original charm, most of which are distributed in the Omo Valley. It borders Kenya, is located on the border and has no traffic. An Omo River meanders nearly a thousand kilometers, dividing Omo and Mago National Parks, two of the largest, most remote and wildest nature reserves in southern Ethiopia, into two.

11. Surma's most ferocious and aggressive tribe needs police escort to enter. Tribe

Lao Chen said that to go to the Surma tribe, you have to stay in a tent for a few nights because there are no hotels here. Police escorts are necessary because the suri/surma tribe is very aggressive. Although the suri tribe has become more hospitable in recent years than 10 years ago, it is still impossible to go without police escort. China are extremely rare here, and people from Russia, Italy, Spain and France like to go. The cruel dogo plus stick war described later is a ritual peculiar to the Surma tribe.

Their men are often naked and then paint their bodies with white dye and patterns. Women, on the other hand, have the custom of wearing lips and ears. The dress is a large cloth sheet, usually purple and green. It can be wrapped from the lower body and tied with a knot on the shoulders.

12. Bull jumping ceremony Some men are not yet minors when they reach the age of 40.

The most distinctive feature of the Hamor people is the ceremony of testing men, that is, men over the age of 16 must undergo circumcision, but circumcision can only be performed after successfully completing "bull jumping." The so-called "bull jumping" means that a naked man can jump four times on the back of an aligned cow without being dropped. It is very likely that some men have not passed this ritual when they reach the age of 40, but this does not hinder his normal life. He can still have women and children, but through a man who "bull jumping", his women and the children they give birth to are legal.

13. The real pain and joy of the surMRI whipping ceremony

Before the cow jumping ceremony began, there was also a shocking whipping ceremony. A group of young Hamor girls volunteered to form a circle and begged a handsome man from the tribe to whip their bare backs severely. What a delicate and beautiful skin. In the blink of an eye, the skin was torn open and the flesh was torn open. It was terrible to behold!

Thewas slapped hard, and the back of the tribal beauty immediately bloomed and bled. Under the scorching sun, soaked in sweat, the unbearable pain can be completely imagined. The harder he was drawn, the more proud he became, and he laughed like he had won a big prize. Most of the girls who took the initiative to ask for the flogging were related to the male protagonist of the ox-jumping ceremony. In this "painful and happy" way, they expressed their sincere blessings to their dear brothers who grew up into men. Shy young man, can you afford this kind of love?

14. Donga fighting Dogaga long stick competition. If you kill a person, you will not pay for your life. Whoever wins will get the girl 'Dogaga competition is held after the autumn harvest. It is a custom unique to the Surma primitive tribe. They fought with sharpened wooden sticks. The whole process was very violent and cruel. Many people were injured in the competition and some even lost their lives. The family of the deceased can receive some compensation, usually 20 cows or a girl, which is borne by the family of the deceased's opponent.

Beforecompetition began, contestants drank two liters of freshly placed fresh cow blood, challenged anyone they wanted, and hit any part of their opponents. The only rule is that you are not allowed to hit an opponent who has fallen to the ground." The Dogoga competition is very cruel and intense, and alcohol is also needed between games to stimulate one's aggression.

Aftercompetition, the winner points the stick in the direction of the girl he likes. If the girl puts a necklace on the winner, it means that they want to be a part of the winner's life.
