reblogged from beenthinking:
Have you heard about the photos published today, allegedly proving the existence of a completely uncontacted, remote indigenous tribe? Kraabel and I are debating it and I smell a rat. A war painted, loin cloth clad, arrow pointing rat. Not that I don’t love the idea of a “lost tribe” in the darkest jungle where Brazil melts into Peru. I do -I love it. But this….it just feels so contrived, too convenient…especially when presented by an agenda-laden South American government.
As K even admits, “It’s all a little ‘The Gods Must be Crazy.’”
TV: I admit, it seems too odd to be real…either way, it’s interesting…either it’s an unfound tribe or an elaborate hoax, either is intriguing.
