burial cave and hanging coffin

Submitted by tipoy on April 8, 2008 – 2:29 pmNo Comment

this is the 3rd part of my post during our vacation in Sagada :) … anyway, after spelunking Sumaging cave we went to the burial cave but Malou’s already too tired since Sumaging swept all of her charm and energy, hahaha … well, just me with Kuya Jes, John, Jucil, and Chocho who went on and check it out ;)

coffins were all made from pine-trees which is quite common in Sagada and some were more than a 100yrs old already but might be due to their weather that most coffins are still preserved … but by simply looking at it, all of their dead were not mummified not like the kabayan mummy of the Ibaloi and some were also desecrated just to make the tourist mystified and amazed, hahaha … also were informed that a lot of coffins were destroyed during a heavy quake which left a white powder located on the corner of the cave … also the hole of this cave connects to Sumaging cave and could be reached by 4hrs of walk … hehehe, yeah count me out dude, hahaha


the hole connects to Sumaging cave


cigarette’s rendered as a peace-offering :D

only took 1 pic on the hanging coffin since its located at the other side of the mountain and I also left my zoom lens as quite hesitant to bring it with me during spelunking the Sumaging cave, hahaha … also not sure though but to me it looks like it was kinda staged :(
