Top 5 Weird Rites of Passage www.stopsleepgo.com 5.A bit of pain and then a bizarre act of athleticism is what you need to become a man and be allowed to marry in this indigenous tribe in Ethiopia. The ‘lucky’ candidate’s family and closest friends chant to create an ambient soundtrack whilst the men of the village whip him until he is scarred for life. They then line up four castrated bulls side by side and the boy, for some reason, runs over the top of them, much like James Bond and the alligators in ‘Live and let Die’. Strange but true 4.Boys are given some homemade gloves filled with ants to wear for a few minutes without flinching. Sounds a bit ticklish but otherwise OK, until you realize that these ants are Bullet Ants and they possess the most potent, powerful and painful sting of all the insects, liable to cause paralysis and severe unbearable pain for up to 24 hours, and that’s just off one of them. That’s how it’s done in the Brazilian Amazon 3.More extreme pain, and this time it’s really extreme. The boy candidate from the Mandan tribe in Dakota is forced to fast for four days without sleeping, which I guess is not pleasant but probably do-able. Then the horror begins. He is taken to a hut where wooden skewers are forced through his chest and he is then hung like a slab of meat from the ceiling whilst the rest of the congregation scrutinize his face, demanding he smiles throughout the whole process. After he passes out they let him down. And then cut off his little finger to offer to the spirits. That’s all 2.More extremity from Papua New Guinea with this rite of passage ritual that verges on the disgusting and definitely sounds very very painful. The people of the Matausa tribe believe that boy cannot become a man unless he is cleansed of all his impurities, and that means sticking wooden reeds down the ‘dirty’ boy’s throat until he vomits, then forcing them up his nostrils, before stabbing his tongue for good measure until his blood can be deemed to be pure. Sounds pretty reasonable to me 1.Very similar to bungee jumping except that there are no Health and Safety regulations and the bungee elastic cord is a couple of vines tied to the jumper’s ankles. And, also, the jumper’s goal is to get as close to brushing his head on the ground as possible. This is a coming-of-age ritual performed by the Vanuatu people from the small island archipelago in the south Pacific and it’s quite simple – if the jumper survives and lives, he’s a man. Exciting but a little harsh, especially if the man checking the length of the vines is no friend of yours.Top 5 Weird Rites,Passage,10 Most, INSANE Rites,A Man In Different, Cultures,Garry Kasparov,Rite of Passage,My Story,Top 10 Most, Bizarre Traditions,World 2015,Incredible Ritual,Hundreds,Poisonous, Bullet Ants,SEXY BALLERINA,Top 5 Bizarre, Animal Mating Rituals,Top 5 Weirdest,internet,5 Strangest Photos,World War,Top 5 Strangest, Unidentified Creatures
