    Malakhai visited the USC Museum and learned several things: 1) Cremation burial was traditionally practiced in Laguna, Philippines where bones were burned in rituals before secondary burial. 2) Boat-shaped coffins have been found throughout Southeast Asia and were used for both primary burials with cadavers and secondary burials of skeletal remains. 3) In the Philippines' Cordilleras region, the Ifugao people practice rice terracing and worship a male rice deity and bulul figures to protect crops.

    USC Museum Learnings

    • Cremation burial is a local tradition in Laguna. After preparing the body for primary
    burial in one of several ways, the bones were burned in a ritual before secondary
    burial.
    • Burials in boat-shaped coffins have been discovered all over Southeast Asia,
    according to the museum. It is not only the Philippines.
    • Burials in boat-shaped coffins have two types of burials. The primary type is with
    a cadaver. It is placed inside one piece of hollowed-out log, with another serving
    as a lid; both are then tightly sealed. Secondary burial involves allowing the
    skeletal remains buried elsewhere to decompose before retrieving, washing, and
    placing the bones, particularly the skull, in a coffin or "longon" shaped like a boat.
    This is then placed in a sacred cave, along with rituals.
    • The museum also has a display of Japanese armor known as O-yoroi, or Yoroi
    Vintage. This gained popularity among the samurai class during the Genpei War
    in 12th-century feudal Japan. According to history, Ashikaga Takauji presented
    this yoroi to the Shinomura Hachimang, a shrine near Kyoto. This was replaced
    in the 15th century by a better armor which is the Do-maru armor.
    • The Philippines Cordilleras rice terraces are a living cultural landscape in remote
    areas of the Philippine Cordillera Mountain range in Northern Luzon. The
    Philippine government designated the Banaue Rice Terraces as a National
    Cultural Treasure under the Ifugao Rice Terraces by Presidential Decree in 1978.
    • In the Ifugaos’ way of life, a male rice deity known as Bulul protects the rice crop.
    These bulul are said to represent the Ifugaos' ancestors, and the presence of
    ancestor spirits within them is said to give the people power.
    • In the museum, a picture that shows Ifugao priests which is a mombaki. Baptizing
    a bulul pair with the blood of sacrificed pigs was a feature of the Ifugaonon's
    annual harvest rituals.
    • Due to its attractive colors, the greater bird of paradise, or Paradisaea apoda in
    New Guinea, is one of the world's most dramatic but also attractive birds. It has
    different colored feathers like yellow, green, blue and, scarlet. They were once a
    target of skin hunters due to their attractiveness.
    • As far back as 2600 B.C. The Chinese were making silk from mulberry moth
    cocoons. Japan was introduced to it and quickly became the world's primary
    source of raw silk.
    • Lastly, I discovered while exploring the museum the items that were once used
    for accounting. It is a 1948 national cash register model that was created in 1096.
