It still is a weird picture in 2008 : tribes who live at standards from 1000 years ago.
Why am I telling you this? Because this picture pretty much shocked me
This is one of the 'uncontacted' tribes in Brazil,who are shooting arrows as a surveillance plane that's flying over them.
I can only imagine what they thought that plane was,and I actually wonder what they believe in. God or Gods? I'd dare to suppose the latter,and maybe also suppose that they considered the flying thing they were aiming for some kind of supernatural beast.It surely is hard to live how they do,especially with possible beliefs of the sort. I mean ,anything and everything could be interpreted as a sign of rage of the gods ,and they may be led by fear.
Then again,how do you establish contact,and how do you explain to them that you wear shoes with plastic soles ,that you use communication devices and that you can fly in machines made out of one of the heaviest metals on earth,when they only defend themselves with rocks and spears?
There are more powerful things than science and information
