Papua New Guinea Land called the asthmatic Papua New Guinea is considered by local tribes a restricted area to foreigners, because here grows “ gharu" - Tree of life.       Guarded and the Willows a sacred river, Asewetsj, clusters formed by the tree miraculously hidden life of unseen spirits of all generations asmatiens.          God of eternal life, Fumiri-pitj, travels from trunk to trunk and transmits news mortals through a magical resin           Rain extinguished the fire swords, say the bulks asmatiens, after centuries in a row because no foreigners allowed near the tribe of tree life in the prohibited area, today in the famous region have entered the growing number of traders. For any alien, brings gharu curse of death. And indeed, the ancient tradition was maintained by a staggering reality. For nature has conceived all around the land asmatien deadly marshes that can not be crossed only very few paths, known only by a few prominent men of the community. Legends of asthmatic say that the belly of the swamps lie hundreds of skeletons of those who have violated the territory without the supreme god Fumiri-pitj.

Western explorers were astonished to see that after such a tree has been transformed into primitive boats (with the consent of wise counsel tribes), all asmatiens longer afraid of the spirits inside the timber. So, which of a man who is in charge of rowing drum with a rod in the boat body to keep awake spiritual protection. Of "wood of life" are not bows and arrows, because if such a creature would be killed, it would become immortal and would start the war against the asmatiens.

Foreigners found that gharu resin is one of the most valuable in the area of the Pacific. Westerners have learned the local trade (barter) with the natural product, lure them with alcohol. Even if there centuries of custom tribal rituals conducted in atmosphere of gharu incense smoke, the most "entrepreneurs" are often members of travel trade the asmatiens modern settlements in Papua New Guinea to sell sacred resin. Tree risk to lose their life sacred and swamps surrounding zones is not a deadly threat. Although tradition says that each such tree is a shrine, asmatiens young generations tend to move the ancient faith, curses like no longer works and miracles here remain to populate only stories.
