  • @Rebeccadmd No i did not get my information from dundee you pathetic cunt. and my information is correct, there is only 500 character spaces here so i made it brief and didn't bother writing a damn essay on the matter, I gave the short version. but lifeless people like you enjoy travelling youtube on a quest of minor corrections. So now you'll have your say , tell me i'm rude, whatever, bye bye.

  • @qotsaandsoadfan1 Hi, not sure where you found out this information (Crocodile Dundee?), but amongst Aboriginal people in Central Australia, there is no such belief associated with death. The prohibition on images of the deceased is associate with the belief that if close relatives see the person's image or belongings prior to correct funerary rite being observed, the spirit will not pass to the afterlife. These prohibitions are often lifted are a period of time has passed.

  • @lerlo I'm an anthropologist who lives and works with Aboriginal people in Central Australia. Mortuary rites vary widely amongst different Aboriginal groups, so what I'm going to say here is very general.

    Many Aboriginal groups believe that saying the name of the deceased, touching their belongings and staying their house prior to the proper funerary rituals being observed will cause the person's spirit to trapped and not pass into the afterlife.

  • @qotsaandsoadfan1 Oh, ok. Thanks for that.

  • @lerlo It is to warn people of aboriginal descent, Australian Aboriginies behold the traditional belief that when a photo of a peson is taken it removes a part of their soul and thier 'being' and contains it in that said image for eternity( this traditional belief stemmed from interaction with early white settlers with photography equipment)

    This tradition also extends to images of the deceased and the "warning" is there to pay respect to these beliefs as "seeing the dead" can be distressing.

  • music? who is it its great
