Earth's uncontacted tribes pics

Incredible. AS is this quote: "Normally you can tell who tribes are by their language, how they wear their hair, how they adorn their bodies and so on, but in this case the photos don't allow us to get close enough to see" What? They returned to take photos of these people and they don't even have a decent camera and objective?

That's awesome, ne0h. Here's something about a tribe in India itself: http://www.andaman.org/BOOK/reprints/goodheart/rep-goodheart.htm[^] http://www.andaman.org/BOOK/chapter8/text8.htm[^]

This is very likely a hoax.

well, they originally bought http://www.zeiss.com/c12567a8003b58b9/Contents-Frame/8baac109cb80bddfc12571e100393a1b[^] but they would have had to leave the photographer behind to keep in the weight limit. ;) :laugh: actually it is not so easy taking pictures from the air. and with the height restrictions on uncontacted areas, they are lucky they got close enough to take those. Oh I am sure I could set them up with a vendor contact for a decent vibration reduction high speed tracking system, but sincerely doubt they could afford it. :-D we got our last one from hollywood before the unmanned helecopter had a fatal encounter with the ground.... It was really pretty before it went splat. There is no money in taking pictures of people you aren't allowed to know anything about. :laugh: though I wonder what a tribe would think of an unmanned aircraft vs. a manned craft. Would an unmanned craft reinforce the spirit theory, would a manned craft think of other men outside your community and send out people to contact them out of curiosity? or think that the beast imprisoned them, or ate them? Anything is possible to the creative mind.

So we are to believe they invented Fanny Packs on thier own?
actually, if I recall the fanny pack was patterned after several amazon tribes that were contacted. The hard part is, we don't really know if a tribe has been contacted without first contacting them. :laugh: In order to survive tribes generally exchange members to keep the blood from thinning out. It was done on this continent long before it was contacted from europe. Once we contacted the shore tribes, word spread. I too doubt they are completely uncontacted. We contact one tribe, they contact another, and another, and another, etc. Plus we don't know if anyone has been there to contact them, or they may have seen someone exploring nearby. And as pointed out, it could be a hoax. The great thing about talking about uncontacted peoples, is you don't know what they do or don't know, and you have no way to prove what you do or don't know about them. :laugh: :laugh:

possibly, as I mentioned above, the great thing about talking about someone you claim to know nothing about is if you are right, you have no way to know what they know or don't know about you or who they have talked to over the last hundreds of years. If you are lying or telling the truth, there is no evidence to show what you do or don't know, because you claim to not know them. :-D Ultimate Catch-22. I doubt it deserves a downed rating for the possibility. I'll keep an eye on Snopes though. :)

I really love to know what do you do for a living ;) But I guess then you would have to kill me :)

I am an artist of course. I draw pictures at 60fps nominally, sometimes faster, sometimes slower depending on the artistic subject. One of the components of the drawing, is always terrain, very high resolution, the others subjects... I'll have to wait until the men are in position before I tell you.... where are you again? ;) ;) ;P

I hope they're left in peace. But knowing that they exist, the Christian missionary hounds will probably try to get them too.
So the creationist says: Everything must have a designer. God designed everything. I say: Why is God the only exception? Why not make the "designs" (like man) exceptions and make God a creation of man?
