| 500 | 0 | |a The South Pacific, the first Europeans to sail these waters took back to their chilly Northern homes, stories of islands of paradise where the warm sea abounds with fish, coconuts drop from the trees, and life is easy. The islands lie thickest in the Southwest but the explorers soon found that the people who lived there were far from the gentle innocents wandering through a garden of Eden. Some were head-hunters, others were cannibals, and they were all haunted, even tormented, by their Gods. The people of Melanesia, as this part of the world is called, created numberless images of their spirits. They constructed them from a bark cloth, they wove them from fibre, they carved them in wood and hung them with human hair. Some resembled human beings, some creatures which have never been seen in the natural world. | |
