Hearing Guo Xiaoxiang's words, Yang Jing couldn't help feeling numb.

Before coming to PNG, Yang Jing also made some preparations so that he had a certain understanding of the whole Irian Island, including the famous hunter tribe.

Although it is the second decade of the 21st century, there are still some very primitive tribes on this planet. This kind of primitive is not a casual primitive, but a real primitive.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the real primitive tribes are in Africa, but in fact, although there are some primitive tribes in some extremely remote areas of Africa, if these primitive tribes in Africa are compared with those on many islands in the southwest Pacific, they have simply entered the era of modernization.

In this world, the real primitive tribes are not in Africa, but on a series of large and small islands in the southwest Pacific.

Due to the barrier of the vast Pacific Ocean, the aborigines living on the southwest Pacific islands have been living a traditional primitive and isolated life for thousands of years, just like in Fiji, there is still a primitive cannibal life.

This kind of cannibals is not the kind of cannibals who talk nonsense in the novel. They are real cannibals. They are really cannibals!

Similarly, in many primitive jungles of the huge Irian Island, there are large and small cannibals, but in Irian Island, these cannibals are not called cannibals. They have a more frightening and loud name - headhunter.

On the primitive Irian Island, there are more than 20000 primitive people who have little contact with the outside world. When these primitive people fight with each other, they usually take hunting the enemy's head as the highest honor. Therefore, these primitive people are called "Hunter head clan".

You can't imagine how tragic and bloody the war between these primitive people is. Before the war began, men and women in the tribe would make preparations together. First paint the canoe with ochre and lime, and then make all kinds of food for celebration when it is occupied. At this time, women also become inhuman. They encourage men to fight bravely and kill as many people as possible. When everything is ready, men sneak into each other's villages in small canoes under the cover of night, regardless of men, women, old and young. The more they kill, the better.

They killed cleanly, and did not beg for mercy after the killed resistance was ineffective, because both sides knew that there was no mercy between them. In the stone age, they didn't have modern weapons, but a knife called bamboo knife cut off people's heads no longer than our modern steel knife.

After the winner cut off his head, he first peeled off his scalp, then covered a small hole in his temple with a sharp tool, and poured his brain into a stone bowl to drink.

The winner used every part of the head he hunted - the lower jaw was cut as an ornament for the necklace, the skulls were hung in rows and covered in front of the high foot house with bark, and at night, they were taken off as pillows.

These headhunters will not only cut off the heads of the defeated, but also the heads of the normal dead. Careful observation of the skull hanging in front of the house will find that: one is quite complete, which is the skull left after normal death; Another kind of temple has holes and lacks mandible, which is the victory of the master's attack.

This is the origin of the headhunter's name.

Among them, the most famous headhunter group is the Asmat group living in Indonesia and centered on the two regions of otzjianep and omassep. This name also replaces the headhunter group and has become a synonym for the headhunter group in a broad sense.

Therefore, when it comes to the hunter head tribe living on Irian Island, outsiders usually call it Asmat tribe. These primitive people lived in the primitive jungle and hardly contacted the outside world. In the region bordering PNG in the east of Indonesia, the Asmat region with otzjanep and omassep as the core, there are two Asmat ethnic groups with the largest number. These two Asmat ethnic groups have a total of more than 7000 people, which is the most concentrated area of Hunter head ethnic groups on Irian island.

In fact, because otzjianep and omasai Pu are located along the coast, and the number of these two tribes is also the largest among Hunter heads, according to common sense, the Asmat people of these two tribes have more access to modern society than those who are inland.

Unfortunately, the cannibalism case that almost caused a sensation all over the world more than half a century ago made the Asmat people famous all over the world, and finally became synonymous with the hunter head family on Irian island.

The only protagonist in that famous case has a very great surname - Rockefeller.

Yes, the protagonist hunted by the Asmat people is Michael Rockefeller, the great grandson of John Rockefeller, the king of American oil, and the son of Nelson Rockefeller, the former governor of New York and former vice president of the United States.

In 1961, Michael Rockefeller, the successor of standard oil company, accidentally disappeared off the coast of Papua New Guinea. The news shocked the whole country and even the world. It was not until half a century later that people knew that the real fate of this "rich generation" was far more shocking than people thought.

Michael Rockefeller was born in 1938 and became a member of the Rockefeller family. His father was Nelson Rockefeller, governor of New York State, and a former vice president of the United States; His great grandfather John Rockefeller is the richest man in the United States and has a huge oil empire.

Although Michael's father hopes that he can inherit his father's business and manage the huge business assets of the family, Michael himself has a quieter and more artistic soul. In 1960, he graduated from Harvard University and wanted to do something more exciting than being a director and sitting in an office meeting.

He is determined to find his "primitive art". For non Western art at that time, this term inevitably exudes a sense of superiority. Michael, who devoted himself to primitive art, easily occupied a place on the board of directors of his father's Museum.

At that time, Michael once said, "I just want to do something I haven't done before and collect more works of art in New York."

Before that, Michael had traveled many times. He had lived in Japan and Venezuela for several months. So in the year of his graduation, he wanted to embark on a journey of anthropological investigation.

After talking with representatives of the Dutch National Museum of ethnology, Michael decided to go to Dutch New Guinea at that time to collect works of art from the Asmat people who settled there.

According to the later investigation, Michael invited many researchers and documentary filmmakers to join the trip for a journey of exploration and discovery. They came to otzjianep, the main living gathering place of Asmat people on the island. They not only took many photos here, but also tried to buy biszhu, a beautifully carved wooden art, from the local people, but failed.

Michael was not discouraged. He continued his in-depth observation and found that many behaviors of Asmat people seem to run counter to western social norms. He even wrote in his diary: "this place is more remote and wild than what I have seen before." because at this time, Michael has seen the cruel war between the Asmat people and how they hunt the enemy's head.

This is Michael's first trip to New Guinea.

Although he didn't get anything valuable for the first time, it made Michael more eager to try and plan to show his skills. He made a detailed plan to conduct more detailed anthropological research on Asmat. He also planned to display Asmat's works of art in his father's Museum.

On November 19, 1961, Michael and a group of Dutch anthropologists sailed to New Guinea again and approached otzjanep along the coastline. But their ship capsized twelve miles from the coast. However, according to the records, Michael jumped into the water and disappeared after talking to his fellow anthropologists about "I think I can (swim over)".

Whether the boat capsized or Michael was out of his mind, he had to swim over the twelve miles. Anyway, the child disappeared. No one was born or dead.

But after all, this guy has an enviable and really powerful family background, so when he disappeared, the whole Rockefeller family mobilized all their strength to search for Michael's trace. But after searching for half a month, I found nothing.

Michael's death caused a sensation in the media. Soon, newspapers began to publish all kinds of rumors that he must have been eaten by cannibals or sharks. It is also rumored that Michael has actually escaped the gold-plated cage of wealth and is living freely somewhere in the jungle of New Guinea. But whatever the rumor, the family heir born with the golden key disappeared.

However, according to the subsequent investigation, people finally found out why the man disappeared. He was not eaten by a shark, but was really headhunted by the Asmat.

At that time, two Dutch missionaries lived with Asmat people for many years and spoke the local language. The missionary told the local authorities that they heard from the Asmat that it was the Asmat who killed Michael.

The following year, in 1962, the island police sent WIM van der Waal to investigate the matter. He reached the same conclusion and even got the so-called "Michael's skull" from the Asmat population.

In fact, Michael's murder was a revenge of the Asmat!

The fundamental reason for this was the Dutch colonial government at that time.

In 1957, three years before Michael first visited the island. One thing happened this year, which left a permanent wound to otzjanep's people. At that time, the Dutch colonial government had just controlled the island and had limited control over the Asmat people of remote tribes.

That year, a massacre took place between the two Asmat tribes of otzjanep and omassep, and dozens of people on both sides were killed. At that time, the Dutch colonial government tried to control the situation, hoping to calm the anger of the otzjianep tribe. However, due to a lot of cultural misunderstandings, the Dutch were angry with the otzjanep.

The otsjanep, who first saw the power of guns, saw four war leaders shot and killed. This incident also completely led to the hatred of the Asmat towards the white people.

It was in this case that otzjanep's people accidentally found Michael swimming towards the coast bordering their territory

Unfortunately for Michael, these people he met were the descendants of the four tribal war leaders and clansmen killed by the Dutch there.

Michael's death is very simple, but it makes the Asmat people famous all over the world, and makes people all over the world realize that there are terrible Hunter heads in Irian island.

It was also because of this that Yang Jing knew about the Asmat Hunter head clan.
