The most realistic images of the life of the cannibal tribe of New Guinea, who share wives with each other and have no sexual barriers.
Photographer Gianluca Chiodini bravely traveled to the islands inhabited by this cannibal tribe to take pictures despite rumors that they killed and ate Michael Rockefeller in 1961.

Cannibal tribe living in a national park in southwestern New Guinea, Indonesia. They have no sexual barriers, men can make love to men or share wives and practice polygamy. This tribe is said to have killed and eaten the son of New York Mayor – Michael Rockefeller.
Michael Rockefeller was 23 years old while on a trip to New Guinea and crashed when his raft capsized along the southwestern coast of New Guinea. After Michael went missing, his family flew to New Guinea to search for it for a week. President John F. Kennedy offered his condolences and offered to assist the family in the search. But on the ninth day of the search, his family flew back and the Dutch, who controlled New Guinea at the time, also stopped the search and concluded that Michael had drowned.
However, author Carl Hoffman believes he knows what happened to Michael and narrates the story in his book “Savage Harvest”. Hoffman wrote, Michael swam 10 miles from the broken boat to shore and when he stepped onto the beach, he was stabbed in the ribs by a tribal man. Then Michael was hit in the back of the neck and died. The cannibal tribe started their rituals with Michael.
In the following period, the Dutch took over the land of New Guinea, ordered to shoot down 5 elite Asmats in the tribe. The brutal death of these 5 men left a wound in the heart of the tribe and they vowed to seek revenge against any white man.
For centuries, the Asmat people have specialized in hunting down their enemies and beheading them, sometimes using the skulls as pillows or bowls to eat the people of the opposing tribe.
The Asmat people have a great reverence for skulls and skulls. The headhunting action of this tribe did not end until 1990.
