The hut of banana leaf scrolls that tell of your life - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I saw show on the Travel Channel quite some time ago about this hut that contains thousands of banana leaf scrolls that are there for every person that comes in, and none for anyone that won't be. Your scroll is found through examination of the thumb print, and the guy that the show followed there had his life summed up fairly accurately, and supposedly when a certain person comes in and hears his scroll, all the of scrolls will blacken and be lost. That's what I remember of it and I'm looking for more information on the place because it struck me as really neat and I'm wondering if anyone knows of this.

Wow, I've never heard of this, but it seems very interesting. I hope you're able to find a website on it soon. Thanks for bringing it up!

Check out this Google Answer.

It should provide info. Given that it has to be translated I'm pretty skeptical, but cool idea.

Yes! That is it, I think the blackening of the leaves part came from failure to properly remember the explanation of copying scrolls and an example of what might result, something like that. Thanks!
