Ancient people of some ethnic groups buried
dead bodies of their family members in hanging coffins. THE TORAJA are
an ethnic group of South Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Toraja practiced this weird custom in which they bury their family members and
hang them over some cliffs after death. Toraja are follows this culture since
2000 years. You can observe many suspended coffins from the bottom of the
cliff. Coffins are generally hung 33 to 164 feet high. No one knows how the
coffins were placed at such great heights. This weird ritual also took place in
some parts of Philippines and china.
