Imagine a war that never really ended. A fight that continues not through bullets, but through whispered prayers, candlelit altars, and secret rituals deep in the jungle. In the heart of the Yucatán Peninsula, the legacy of the Mayan Caste War is very much alive — not in textbooks, but in tradition.

In the dense jungles and river basins of South Kalimantan, a profound tradition takes place—one that invites the realm of the spirits to guide human decisions. The Manajah Antang ritual, practiced by the Dayak people, is a sacred ceremony in which a spiritual bird called the Antang is summoned to offer signs and direction from the unseen world. Whether to declare war, select a leader, or prepare for a journey, the Dayak turn to the Antang for divine confirmation.
