History always fascinate every one. Its seems amazing even thinking that how any place or person looks like hundreds, thousands or millions years ago. So its more amazing to see old historical pictures. We can see our past through such available old historical pictures.

A Dayak chief (c. 1900-1920)
The Dayak or Dyak or Dayuh/ˈdaɪ.ək/ are the native people of Borneo.[3] It is a loose term for over 200 riverine and hill-dwelling ethnic subgroups, located principally in the interior of Borneo, each with its own dialect, customs, laws, territory and culture, although common distinguishing traits are readily identifiable. Dayak languages are categorised as part of the Austronesian languages in Asia. The Dayak were animist in belief; however, many converted to Islam and since the 19th century there has been mass conversion to Christianity.
