What culture is facinating?

Question

Not a popular one, but some with interesting facts that isn't very broad.

No! I need specific ones. Not like 'american culture or spanish culture, but something more involved. something smaller. A lesser known culture that many people may not know about

Answer 1

The People of Tanna Island, Vanuatu. They are so traditional over most of the Island that it makes one think that they have stepped in a time machine. You just don't expect to see people living so traditionally this day and age. I have also been to Africa and have lived with the Dasenech, Samburu/Masai, Turkana... but even these remote African tribes can't compare to the people of Tanna, Vanuatu.

If you want to see the traditional pictures from Tanna then on the sidebar click on "people of Tanna", "Custom", "Custom Dress" then "Page 1". Then scroll down on each page and click "next page" at the bottom to circulate through the custom pictures. 5 pages in total, enjoy!

Answer 2

Bridey Murphy is the name of a woman that U.S. housewife Virginia Tighe (April 27, 1923 - July 12, 1995) claimed to have been in her previous life. In 1952, Colorado businessman and amateur hypnotist Morey Bernstein put housewife Virginia Tighe of Pueblo, Colorado in a trance that sparked off startling revelations about Tighe's alleged past life as a 19th-century Irishwoman and her rebirth in the United States 59 years later. Scientists today are satisfied that nothing Virginia Tighe said cannot be explained as a memory of her long-forgotten childhood.

Their all fascinating, but if there's one to pick why not try looking into Indonesia. They have transvestites pageants. They have a different religious out look, with Sufism having a strong presence there. Very interesting group of islands, and that's not too mainstream.

I disagree that they are all good cultures. Some are bad and some are good, just like people. Since cultures are just groups of like-minded peoples. But they are all interesting.
