Ne Lamba died 2007, 60-70 years old nobody knows, since back in the days there was no birth certificate. Ne Kalo is proudly presenting his mummiefied brother as it is customary for the Torajans. Luckily the weather is quite okay, otherwise the family would have to wait until next year to take care of their ancestors. It's the last day of August, and after this day, believing in the prinicpals of Aluk To Dolo, the families are not allowed anymore to open the graves.
