The people living in an unexplored area of dense jungle in New Guinea terrify their neighbours as they are infamous for headhunting their enemies and eating them as part of a grisly ritual.
The Asmat tribe, which is made up of 12 different sub-ethnic groups inhabiting the Indonesian region, would display their tribal loyalty by killing a foe for the community to feast on their head. To prepare the head for consumption, Asmat men would scrape off the skin before roasting it in an oven.
While the ritual acted as a show of dominance and terrified other tribes, the community also believes that the human head is a sacred object and likened it to the fruit of a tree, The Mirror reports.
