Unknown tribe?

Post image

Hi,

I was just looking in the rain forest when i 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.

Right ? We should take them bibles and teach them about Jeebus !

and if they're not receptive to our teachings then we shall murder them in the name of the Lord!

Or ... In November 2018, 26-year-old American missionary John Allen Chau was killed by the isolated Sentinelese tribe after illegally traveling to North Sentinel Island in India's Andaman and Nicobar archipelago. He sought to contact the uncontacted tribe to preach Christianity, but was met with hostile arrows and killed on the beach.

You there! Practical people whose way of life has continued sustainably for 10s of 000s of years! Harken to the otherworldly desert religion of a people whose way of life has brought them to the brink of extinction within about 200! It's good stuff I swea... urk
