  • what the fuck

  • Well, its better than collecting normal size heads like ancient barbarians did, too big. These guys made it compact, can show of ur collection and ur house key at the same time

  • this ignorance process can be uncouraged just by means of education, no need to brainwash with jew-christian paranoia... my friend, which is a native american,told me his history and how he went to seek peace in the church, it was because of alcohol, he wanted to get rid of it because he loves his family... when I told him about treatment of addictions by professional clinics he got shocked, of course, propper treatment isnt available for most of them in amazonas, religion fanatics are.

  • @lastpoina white people enter there with their social sickness but dont take the social medicine, which is education and proper health care. good education cannot be colored by religion, politics and other interests. good education must be clear like the clean water you want to drink, so dont contaminate it..

  • Damit I did it wrong he he he!! Lol

  • Oh so that's how it's done!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • u need 2 learn how 2 spell man

  • haha, looks who's talking! First of all it's "YOU"...not "U", and second it's "to"...not "2". I know that you do it that way for the sake of speed, but how long does it really take to type words correctly? This is just my opinion, but if you're going to tell someone they need to work on their spelling...maybe you should try spelling correctly yourself.

  • @mawkheaf thanks for the fucking english lesson dick head .

  • well, i get mixed feelings about this, its cool but its kinda fucked up at the same time

  • i would use a head like that for a keychain

  • i would hate to lose my head to them

  • Atleast it's not dickshrinking

  • I dont think you have anything to worry about.

  • Thats messed up. But the skull part is cool

  • i wonder if i could pay them to make a shrunken head for me

  • cool now im gonna make my own own shrunken heads

  • THAT'S SO FUCKINNNNG COOL!!!!

  • I would keep the skull, and let the shrinker have the rest.

  • LMAO

  • I think that's messed up. The soul can't see anything or curse the guy who pretty much screwed him over. Why do they shrink heads, though? It sounds gruesome.

  • a reason why maybe is to make enemy tribes fear them and scare them to death

  • howcast would loke this

  • ohh thats fucked up man....why do they do that again?

  • Obviously none of these comments are intelligent ones. Ever heard of cultural relativism? Or study any type of culture? Understanding of others and their culture is very important and interesting.

    I hate religion, but world religions. They are for people to hide from the truth and try and create some sort of social control. Small cultures and religions are far different. They are there for the people and the way they live. It may seem foolish, but it is their worldview.

  • i dont understand why everyone is confused

  • I have tolerance for people who are different than me, but what kind of nutjob thinks to decapitate a body and mutilate the head to shrink it?

    I mean, really. o_O

  • Then you clearly don't have tolerance. You have limited acceptance, tolerance means accepting that something is taken from a differant perspective than your own and just because you think it's wrong doesn't mean to them it is. Im sure to them your a horrid and evil soul for systematically eliminating your food instead of giving it a chance to fight(AKA hunting). Im not saying it's true, but it's to give you an example. You might want to rework your self-apointed tolerance.

  • I just think the idea of it is really... From a secular perspective is laughable (that's why everyone is LOLing), I guess if I were raised in that culture and actually believed in that [hogwash] it'd be harder to argue with, but that MY perspective, and if they saw it the way you describe, then they're even less tolerant than am I. I still think it's silly.

  • Well of course it's a load of bullshit, but all im saying is if your going to be smarter than someone don't pretend your tolerant of them. Im intolerant of most religions and cultures, not because they're differant but because it's completely and utterly fucking stupid. Religion is just an excuse to hide from the truth.

  • Thats so annoying when people try to destroy cultures they don't like.

  • These niggas are crazy not anyone can just do this

  • that is fucking awesome.

  • Pretty twisted.

  • dude shut the fuck up ya little cunt

  • lol its a portrayal video showing how the process was done you pussy.

  • To say the least, it's difficult to comprehend the numbers of people sacrificed for this peculiarly-inHUMANe ritual to have evolved to such an exact science.

    Love and hugs,

    mom4education

  • If you read about spontaneous human combustion, the heads of some of those victim's heads were found shrunken. Not all, but some.

  • 6 days to turn into a creepy christmas tree ornament...5 minutes to turn into a bong..lol

  • lol that's disgusting. headshrinking seems pretty neat though.

  • Fucking sweet. I wish that head was real so you could really see what it would be like.

  • A tooth for a tooth makes the whole world gummy.

  • LOL

  • i love how they tell you its a reconstruction. dont worry guys, natgeo didn't really shrink a human head, btw.

  • damn its getting good

  • Eww..

  • Creepy but neat.

  • This is amazing but, It goes to show you just how horrible it is when Human beings are full of ignorance and false beliefs such as the head can't ask for revenge if they sew his lips.

  • FUCKEN BAD ASS!

  • I still don't understand how boiling a head can shrink it. seriously?

  • Think about it like cooking a hamburger, the fat heats up and seperates, leaving fatty bubbles in the pan, the more fat that heats up,the smaller the burger gets. Skin is essentially fatty tissue the more you boil it, the less of it that remains.

  • ever cook a steak? the heat causes moister and fat to burn off, making it smaller.

  • Oh man...

    these are souvenirs just waiting to happen. Kinda like pet rocks with the extra creep factor for the exotic flavor. :p

  • Ahhh... the christians imposing their bullshit on indigenous niggs;

  • AT 0:18 IS SHE WEARING PANTS

  • now that's gangsta

  • Whoa. Awesome. Creepy. Disturbing. But awesome. I've always wondered about those shrunken heads. Now I know how to make one. :) Lolz

  • There were alot of shrunken heads in the ripleys believe it or not museum I went to in wisconsin dells. They are cool. I want one. Oh and in the museum there was one of a red headed white man and it was real. They think that the mean was exploring the forest when he was then captures by the natives, killed, beeaded, and his head was shrunked.

  • man* captured*

  • interesting but disturbing...

  • interesting.

  • Cool....

  • Brutal.

  • Never mind about CC, I re-again and saw captioned. thank :)

  • Interesting but your video does not have CC included. Do you have CC in this video? I am deaf and helpless. thank.

  • Wow...

  • LOL this made me hungry like a bitch........

  • me too!

  • i know this is going to sound disgusting but after watching this video im kind of hungry, maybe because of the time i spent on my grandpas ranch where you had to hunt, skin, cut in peaces and prepare your food, or you would starve, good times man, good times.

  • little creepy! lol

  • Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, this comment makes me so happy

  • Two words

  • one word. . . . sick,

    they had so much free time, they came up with all this creeeeepy things

  • Interesting..

  • I don't know about you guys, but this was so disturbing to watch.

  • Really... what kind of disgusting weirdo came up with that?!

    I mean.. first the tribe people would have to agree that it's a good idea, then they'd have to organize their little method of carrying all that out... that's just.. ew.

  • well now im scared for life

    i knew i shouldn't have watched this

  • demonic people who do that .. idiots ...

    they can't sow the soul in! ahahah

    pagan idiots

  • by time that dude would have been done with that proccess the avenged spirit would have kicked his ass by now.

  • Freaky.. X_X

  • oh thanks i needed to know

  • lousy translation

  • Interesting, but sick and demented too

  • Fun!

  • christianity shinks your brain lol

  • Comment removed

  • please think about what you just said.

    its because of autopsies we can have such medical intelligence today. this is not the same thing.

  • It's a sure PITY we humankinds do in the name of RELIGION!

  • I think all Christian and Catholic missionaries should be shot. How dare anyone presume to force their religion on anyone else...

  • You're forcing your beliefs on others right now.  You want them shot? That's your opinion, but don't push it on me!

    See how that sounds? Pretty stupid, huh? The world exists today because of the sharing of knowledge, which is what the Catholics, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, heck, even the Atheists do. So why don't you just let it go and realize that your no different from them.

  • its called being persuasive. Everyone in the world does it.

  • So what religion are you? o.o

  • Oh and I dont think catholics force their religion. o.o.. Well they do but i dont think they do it by this way. xD

  • O.O

  • I first came across how to shrink a head in James Rollins's book Amazon. It wasn't as detailed but covered the exact same process here. Neato

  • this might be very useful one day *epic foreshadowing*

  • lmao
