"Each year, there is a ritual where they dance around straw figures because their god also danced around straw figures that then turned into humans."
That's... a bit obvious.
"They believe that when they die, they will arrive in the land of the dead..."
Maybe finally some creativity? Hot, damp, maybe with talking animals?
"...which is believed to be in the east."
sigh

Vincent Tunru@konstruct It's always neat when the alt text does a better job conveying the horrors we're witnessing than the picture itself.
Giles Goat@konstruct They will believe they found another Rosetta Stone for some set of languages 😂
