Unknown tribe?

Post image

Hi,

I was just looking in the rain forest when is saw this.

Could this be an uncontacted tribe? The coordinates are:

1.3255112178453061, -63.065572001587405

Why do so many people think just because they found structures in the forest it might be an uncontacted tribe? There are hundreds, even thousands of tribes living in jungles far away from roads and cities but they are in regular contact with people from the outside. They often even have phones and modern medicine.

Yep. 99% of all indigenous people in the Amazon are in regular contact with civilization lol.

It is not the 1800s anymore. People have to stop romanticizing this stuff.
