The Asaro Mud Men are a famous symbol of Papua, New Guinea.
Do you know:Asaro mud men are warriors who created a unique tradition by camouflaging themselves in river mud.
The story behind the tradition of this warrior tribe is after they were defeated, the warriors were forced to flee into the Asaro River where they waited until dusk. At dusk, they emerged from the river covered in mud; the enemy tribe mistook them for spirits and fled. These warriors wear strange-looking masks made from pebbles, which are said to have protected them from the poisonous mud.
