Wim Tok Mabel's mummy held by one of his descendant. Apparently the mummy is 362 years old. Wim Tok Mabel was a "big man" and everybody in the valley wanted his advices. Even nowadays somebody is looking for his advice! Sumpaima village, Baliem valley (Papua Barat, Indonesia).

I will write something longer and post it later!
