26:55 Note the ability of “flying/hovering; without wings” as well. Another wild and tiny detail. You hear something like that once and its harder to look over details such details when you hear it again somewhere else.. !
I am completely in awe of all these creations and love for the creators, but the green man at 23.03 is sublime. I am having an experience, imagine meeting Al Kazir. Actual tears. Biily has my sincerest regard. As to you Jamey.

I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Sierra Leone from 1971-74 and lived in southwestern region near the border of Liberia & the Atlantic Ocean. The tribe was the Mende. Almost all the beads I saw were singular ones worn by women around their waist. I believe they associated the bead with some medicinal aspect. There were some long (about 1 1/2 inches) beads made of red, translucent agate that had six or so flat sides. I believe the Mende called this type of mineral beads "tengue".
I have one of these. Found in an antique store. Not as elaborate as this one but it was very interesting to me so I got it not knowing what it was. Would there be someone who could assist me in learning more about these books?
Thank you. I have a large Tongan tapa that I have had for over 50 years since receiving it as a gift. It is starting to show its age (as am I) and I am anxious to preserve it for coming generations.
Fascinerende ervaring. Ik heb ook U interview gezien in het Iker Jiménez-programma in Spanje en ik ben verslaafd aan U verhaal. Bedankt voor het delen.
Why is this similar to other asian tribe tattoo? -khmu people laos tattoo to protect from evil spirit -Indonesian tattoo take their tattoo to afterlife -naga people of northeast India get tattoo when they slay another man
Wanted to make a quick note re: the Q & A session. Although evil spirits were, generally, repelled by the composite tattoo pigment, illnesses and other maladies continued to plague particular individuals. In such cases, small "tattoo foils" were applied at the corners of the mouth (eg, horseshoe-shaped, cruciform, circular, etc. >> see slide #5 of the Chukchi woman with horseshoe + cruciform variety) or other small marks on the face. Additionally, a new name was given to the individual. These practices were performed to confuse the marauding spirits through changing the individual's identity. For more details, please refer to my books (2014) "Tattoo Traditions of Native North America" and (2007) "The Tattooing Arts of Tribal Women."
Hi Admin, is there any possibility to have a copy of those laklak books that is presented in this video? I mean if I can screen shoot all these pages so I can try to read as well as translating it to other languages. I do fluently write and read aksara/bahasa batak. Thanks and Regards. ᯔᯥᯞᯪᯀᯖᯩᯇᯒ᯲ᯐᯬᯞᯬ
