When we went outside to look at one of the houses the wives lived in, below,  we were standing by an outside wall of the museum.  The guide said, oh, by the way, that is a very poisonous spider behind you, so be careful not to back up into it!  If it bites you, you die quickly..........

The wives were not allowed into the main entrance of the home and were only allowed into the chief's home if he called for them.  They were then only allowed into one room.
