perhaps we have not heard the term Jenglot familiar. Namely, the human figure is only a super mini size 10-12 cm, which is said he was the skeleton of the 'knowledgeable' high-shrinks and has magical powers.
Not only in Indonesia, Jenglot was also in South America. They have called Tsansa. The difference is, when in Indonesia is a shrinking form of the body intact, but the Tsansa (Jenglot in South America) is only part of his head is shrinking. Other difference is, Jenglot Indonesia does not exist or can be scientifically proven process of depreciation (still a mystery), otherwise the head shrinks or Shrunken Head in South America in the process of depreciation can be explained scientifically, and not because of 'The Magic'.
Head shrink, or Shrunken head first into the myth that is very scary in the Americas. First, the explorers in the American West in horror when it should meet with the Indians for two reasons: the skinned head (scalp) and small head made to the size of a tennis ball or smaller.
But keep in mind that not all Indian tribes practicing these brutal acts. Shrunken head legend about the spread in South America, specifically in the Amazon rainforest. In this place there are ethnic Shuar, Achuar, Huambisa, and Aguaruna man who likes to hunt heads for depreciated. They call Tsansa (tzantza).
Well, in a recent issue of the journal Archaeological and Anthropoligcal Sciences, the researchers have analyzed the DNA evidence that revealed the story of legendary tribe of headhunters in the Amazon was real.
The tribes are making smaller head so no magical way, but by removing the skull from the head (after decapitating the enemy). An incision is made in the back of the neck and all the skin and the meat is removed from the cranium. Red beans are placed under the eyelid and eyelid sewn shut.
Then the ball will be placed in lieu of wood to form a head skull 'new' smaller. The flesh was then boiled in water that has been filled with a number of herbs containing tannins.
"After the beheading, the enemy's head carefully reduced by heating in boiling water and spiritual celebration. It is intended that the enemy demons locked. Process is also to protect the spirit of revenge killer of enemies," said Gila Kahila Bar-Gal, the study authors to Discovery News.
That said, the practice has religious significance tsansa. Shrinking the enemy's head is believed to take the spirit (spirit) of the victim and forced him to serve the owner's head. It is also to prevent the soul of the victim avenge his death.
Mastery of white people in America could exacerbate this barbaric treatment. White people were fond of collecting tsansa, so a lot of buying and selling practices tsansa. Reportedly, in the 1930's the price of a tsansa priced just $ 25 only.
Increasing market demand as well make some people in Panama and Colombia make tsansa false. They use the corpse from the funeral home or a monkey's head. A researcher, Kate Duncan had time to write, "It is estimated that about 80 percent tsantsa in private hands and the museum is a fake."
Fortunately the government has banned Peru and Ecuador this practice.
What about Jenglot in Indonesia? Is the process of depreciation as well as Jenglot in South America?
