Central Africa, Imbangala Cannibals,1598

The Kasanje Kingdom, also known as the Jaga Kingdom, (1620-1910) was a pre-colonial Central African state. It was formed in 1620 by a mercenary band of Imbangala, which had deserted the Portuguese ranks. The origins of these people is still debated, but they are believed to have immigrated from the Lunda Empire, rejecting that state's political changes. The Imbangala were known to be notoriously cruel and also ritually cannibalistic.  Human cannibalism is the act or practice of humans eating the flesh or internal organs of other human beings. A person who practices cannibalism is called a cannibal. Engraving by Theodore de Bry, 1598. (cropped and cleaned).
