BRAZILIAN CULTURE: ANHANGÁ & SUMÉ

Hej
How are you? I'm fine, but I need a vacation. D:
Whatever LOL


Anhangá is the enemy of Tupã, a wandering soul, which took the appearance of ghost or goblin, roaming the fields and forests. He is also the god of the infernal regions, a wandering spirit that can take the form of various animals. Despite being considered the protector of animals and hunters, is associated with evil.  Anhangá and compared to the devil in Christian theology.



Sumé is responsible for maintaining the laws and rules. His description varied from tribe to tribe. It would have been among the Indians before the arrival of the Portuguese and they would have passed a series of knowledge. It would also be responsible for the introduction of some basic food of the natives (as cassava, for example). Because of the disobedience of indigenous Sumé one day went away - walked out over the Atlantic Ocean, promising to return to discipline them. He left a series of tracks written in stone. Such designs are considered, by science, drawings of pre-indigenous peoples. An old Indian trail called Paebiru (path of the sun) and located in Paraiba, is known to have been opened by Sumé. Although there are reports that he traveled throughout Brazil.
(I can't find any good drawings on Google, weird.Then I'll put a map so you'll know where Paraíba is.)


Aaaaand that's it :)
