They are not afraid of people.
We have two news: good and bad. The good news is that you can visit a tribe, rejected all the blessings of civilization, and whose way of life has hardly changed in 60 thousand years since its appearance. So you can see with your own eyes the distant past of the stone age. The bad news is that the people of this tribe don’t want you on his island. If you get there, they will probably try to kill you.
The tribe inhabits the Northern Sentinel – a small area of about 72 km2, the island off the coast of Myanmar. For centuries, people living here, not even learned to make fire, avoid any contact with the civilized world. And, it seems, sentinels, living under the protection of Indian authorities, quite content with his life and does not need any change.
Insulation
People living on the island of North sentinel, reject any connection with the outside world since, as the researchers found them in 1700-ies. The time of occurrence of the tribe is considered to be the stone age, and sentinels still kept the same life style as in that epoch.
Dangerous lands
It’s hard to find images of this area and the people living on it, as many of those who visited this island, never came back. So many of the pictures taken from afar tribe. For them, the islanders are throwing stones at the planes flying overhead, and ships, drifting at a safe distance.
Aggressive behavior
Don’t come to this island specifically. Avoid to land on it to avoid accidents. Two fishermen who got lost here in 2006 year, were brutally murdered. When the coast guard helicopter tried to take their bodies, the islanders behave so aggressively that the aircraft had failed to land.
Mysterious people
The population of the island according to various estimates ranges from 50 to 400 people, and get to know it more precisely is not possible. Like our ancient ancestors, the sentinels are hunting and gathering. Their diet consists of coconuts, fish, which they catch in shallow water and edible plants growing on the island. They also eat turtles and birds living on the island. But the land the tribe is not involved at all.
The paradox of the modern stone age
The sentinelese live as though the yard is still stone age, but they make arrowheads out of metal and use it in many other crafts and tools. The tribe probably settled on the island about 60 thousand years ago. The islanders are direct descendants of the first people who decided to leave Africa.
Independence
As experts predicted, the tsunami of 2004, the year could seriously damage or even completely destroy the tribe. But intelligence showed that the sentinelese survived, practically not changing their lifestyle. The tsunami dramatically changed the landscape of the island, but they seem to have adapted to it. The islanders rejected the entire offer them assistance, and, obviously, absolutely did not need.
Modern mystery
Due to the fact that the island is so isolated because it is almost impossible to get some people believe that it is the key to unlocking one of the greatest mysteries of our time. They argue that North sentinel is the final resting place of flight 370 of Malaysia Airlines. The plane might still lie there, hidden in the dense jungle.
Unsolved secret
If the missing plane is on the island, you can go thousands of years before being discovered. This secret, like many others, that can store this island, will furiously defend the tribe that call North sentinel home.
