 Once a year in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, the indigenous Toraja perform a ceremony for their dead called Ma'Nene.
In August the corpses are taken from their resting places to be washed, groomed and dressed, before being walked through the village, back to their coffins.

 In 1959 (sometimes noted as 1956) Adelaide Presbyterian minister R.S. Blance was visiting Corroboree Rock, when he took a photo of the seemingly empty scene. When the photo was developed, he found the image of a person standing amongst the scrub, surrounding the clearing.
What is so interesting is that people interpret the picture differently. What do you see when you look at it?  The sensation of leaving your own body, a tunnel of light, visions of passed on loved ones, a review of your life, a feeling of peace and well-being.
Many people have reported these feelings and sensations when lingering on death's door. Is it a glimpse of the afterlife or just hallucinations as the brain slowly shuts down?  It is said that one should 'take only photos and leave only footprints' when visiting the great outdoors, and there is no truer place to follow that than Uluru / Ayers Rock.
Uluru is Australia's best known natural wonder. Culturally significant to the Anangu people, it is asked that you take nothing from the site. However, this is not always heeded and bad things can happen to those who disrespect the site. |
