This is so fake.

Anybody can wear a tribal costume and try to hit a helicopter.

And look at the hut. That's some pretty nice architecture for a bunch of aboriginals.

You exaggerated in the fake part after a humiliation in the Polar Bear thread.
Of course! it's true. I've seen it first in yahoo and thought that it was a very interesting in thread..

Yeah, this is true.  I read about this on both Yahoo and on CNN.  For the guy who said something about the architecture being "too nice" for a tribe....the truth is some of these tribal people are smarter than we are.  Case in point...the tribal or village people in Indonesia when the tsunami of 2004 hit.  Many, many of those tribal/village people survived the tsunami because they knew how to read the "signs"....all they did was look around....at the animals....and the animals' behavior is what told them to get to high ground.  Unlike the rest of us who rely on computers and internet to tell us what's going on.

And I'm definitely not hating on anybody....I'm one of those people who is wayyyyyyyyyy too dependent on the internet and on computers.  But the facts are there.  Those tribal peoples might be some of the most intelligent people in the world.  ??

@peachcute

If I remember correctly, they really don't know anything about the tribe.  They were completley unknown, and they found them by "mistake".  I'm sure they'll send in a calvary to interrogate them and such.  lol

I'll see if I can retrieve the article.  If I find it, I'll come back and post it.

**EDIT**
It appears that the photos of this "lost" tribe are actually fake.  The pictures themselves are real, but this tribe that was photographed has been known since 1910.  The photographer just wanted to bring attention to the dangers of the logging industry in the Amazon Basin as well as on this tribe.  Here's the article.



Photographer: photos of lost Amazon tribe are fakes
+ - 08:29, June 25, 2008

The photographer who peddled photos of a lost Amazon tribe to news outlets worldwide has admitted they were part of a hoax intended to call attention to dangers posed by Brazil's logging industry.

The photos, one of which showed tribesmen aiming at an aircraft with their bows and arrows, were purportedly of warriors of a lost tribe near the Brazilian-Peruvian border.

But, as photographer Jose Carlos Meirelles recently explained, authorities have known about this particular tribe since 1910. Meirelles and the agency that released the photos wanted to make it appear they were member of a lost tribe in order to publicize the dangers the logging industry may have on the tribe.
