With the development of human technology and civilization, coupled with the strong desire for knowledge and the courage to die, to be honest, there are few places that humans dare not set foot on. But the place that Xiao Zuo wants to introduce to you today is the only piece of land on earth that humans dare not set foot in. In addition to this, it can be said that the corners of the world that people can reach basically already have human footprints, but only There is only such an overseas deserted island, and no one has set foot in it so far. It is North Sentinel Island, alias North Sentinel Island, the island is located in the Bay of Bengal, and the Andaman Islands. , about the equivalent of 80 Forbidden City. On the vast sea, it is like an inconspicuous stone. According to India, the entire island was covered by dense forests. It was checked with a reconnaissance plane, and the result was either missing or returning in vain. Even satellite observation cannot see the interior of the island. Here comes the problem:
Since the explorers discovered the island until today, no one knows what it is like inside. It is said that people who have boarded the island so far never came out again. This is a little creepy. It seems to be an extremely ordinary island . How can we make everyone go back and forth? In this issue, I will take you to reveal the most dangerous island in the world - North Sentinel.
According to a survey by experts in India, North Sentine Island is home to a powerful tribe that is isolated from the rest of the world. As of today, it is estimated that it has lasted for nearly 60,000 years. The explorers risked their lives to observe that the inhabitants of the island were very similar in size to the Pygmies tribes in Africa. They had the same dark skin and short stature, but were extremely strong. They looked like the black version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the anime.With continuous observation in the past seven years, anthropologists have given the following guesses: many indigenous s in Africa spread along the coast of the Indian Ocean and spread to the whole world, so these scholars suspect the primitive tribes on the island , it is very likely that it is the first group of Homo sapiens direct descendants to come out of Africa. Based on this guess, they figured out that tens of thousands of years ago, a tribe, led by the patriarch, arrived here along the coastline . Today, the islands near the Indian territory, vicissitudes of life, with the sea level rising gradually, this The descendants of the tribe were completely trapped here and isolated from the rest of the world.
I have to insert a sentence here. In fact, there are many primitive tribes on the earth. For example, deep in the mountains of , Yunnan Province, my country, there is a village called Wengding Wa Village , which is called China . The last primitive tribe, with a history of more than 400 years, still retains the original architectural style and rich customs and culture. However, these so-called "primitive tribes" have actually had contact with modern civilization to a certain extent. Only North Sentine Island, floating in the sea alone, appears and disappears like a ghost, and knows almost nothing about modern civilization. . Until today, what is the concept of the word "country" for the people on the island. In their eyes, they don't know what their life is like, and they don't have a clear understanding of backwardness and advancement. At present, they only know that they have no favorable impression of outsiders, and even say they are full of hostility. On the small island, the natives here will stand by, and when they are discovered, they will be assassinated with spears and bows and arrows. There were even explorers who came with good intentions, landed on the island with food in their hands, and were still violently confronted. There were many bloodshed incidents. This made the experts’ heads daunted, unable to go to the island, and the dense forest blocked satellite monitoring.At this time, some people may ask, why don't you choose violence to enter the island? Don't you like to show off your power in India? It's not over if you call a few aircraft carriers to land on the island. In fact, everyone does not know the value of a primitive tribe, especially this kind of tribe that has lasted for tens of thousands of years. Even the original vegetation and primitive animals preserved on the island are of great research value, not to mention some civilized fires and the like. . Violent demolition will not work, nor will peace on the island. The experts had to choose a compromise solution and stationed near the island to observe. There are also some gains in the long run. For example, people on the island have their own independent language , which is not some local dialect, but a new language independent of the others, and they are short in stature, with an average height of only about 165 cm. , usually dormant in the dense jungle, the source of food is to hunt and gather fruit, and there is no farming and breeding behavior. In addition, experts also found them on the shore of North Sentina The empty shells left after eating were piled up like hills. From this, it was judged that they lived by the sea and liked crabs and shellfish. I have to say that the quality of this food is quite good.
Surprisingly, the aboriginal people on the island usually rely on lightning strikes to make fires. We all know that artificial fires in the Neolithic Age spread on the earth about 10,000 years ago. This also means that the tribes on the island of North Sentina didn't even experience the Stone Age. In addition, the weapons they hunted and fought against were spears and bows made of stone, which further convinced the experts that the civilization progress on the island should still be in the most primitive Paleolithic age. This is too incredible for us who have entered a civilized society, so experts named this group of indigenous people "living fossils of ancient humans".
In 2011, India launched a national census, and they estimated that the population of North Sentinel Island was between 50-400 people. It has to be said that this data looks quite playful, so it was also called a crazy guess by the Times of India. However, some experts speculate. The population of the island should be much smaller than in the past, and there may have been large-scale conflicts in the middle. Contact experts on the time of the island's changes, which may be related to British Colonial administrator Morris Portman, in 1880, Morris Portman Mann discovered the island and led a heavily armed expedition to the island that same year. After a few days of careful activities, they successfully took away a middle-aged couple and four children, and brought the six people to Port Blair not far away, trying to let them enter modern civilized society. But the people of these primitive tribes have been isolated from the world on isolated islands for tens of thousands of years. The immune system of the body is different from that of modern people, which means that they cannot defend against common pathogens that are not a problem for us.
In these circumstances, two adult Aboriginal couples died as soon as they arrived in Port Blair. If you are interested in history, this is actually quite common. For example, when the navigators first set foot on the American continent, the Indian people felt the "maliciousness" from the virus. The reason is that the Indians have been isolated from the world for too long and have no immunity to resist them. of bacteria and viruses, leading to the loss of lives of Indians. So the aboriginal people of North Sentinel Island seem to be strong, but they are still vulnerable to the virus. Terrified by the sudden death of the couple, the then illiterate British colonial administrator, hurriedly spared the remaining four children and returned to the island.At that time, Maurice Portman also bought a lot of gifts for these children. He thought that his fault had destroyed the original family, so he compensated as much as possible. In addition, even if he did not understand their language, the British colonists It is still expected that these children can become the link between modern civilization and primitive tribes. However, it was precisely because of the folly of this administrator that the returning children brought not only gifts, but also viruses from the outside world. The ending can be imagined. The indigenous population on the island declined sharply. After death, the body did not dare to touch, and could only be thrown into the forest to rot. It was after this incident that the residents of the island were terrified of modern people. In 1967, the Indian government secretly launched diplomatic activities aimed at the indigenous people on the island, trying to establish friendly relations. After decades of hard work, the people on the island have always refused to accept India and never let down their guard. They only waved their weapons angrily and shouted to let them leave. To say that human beings are daring, knowing that the indigenous people are not easy to mess with, they just want to go to Tiger Mountain. The most unlucky thing is the National Geographic column club. In 1974, the National Geographic design team and a pair of anthropologists went to North Sentinel to shoot documentary material.
The National Geographic design team had been very cautious at the time, such as putting down a lot of gifts on the beach, including a miniature plastic car, some coconuts, a live pig, plus a doll and a set of aluminum cooking utensils. But the people on the island did not appreciate it. On the contrary, after taking something, he shot an arrow at the thigh of the documentary director with his backhand. To top it off, the natives of the island, seeing the director get shot, dance with joy on the beach.
After layers of discussions, India ordered everyone not to approach this small island, stipulating that the island of North Sentina is the center, the surrounding area is banned within 5 nautical miles, and the Indian army is guarded day and night.This approach is still very safe, and it is a kind of protection for both parties. One is that outsiders will not be attacked by the natives if they are not close, and the other is that viruses from the outside will not be transmitted to them, so that the survival of the primitive human species can be well guaranteed. More importantly, the original virus carried by the indigenous people is also a deadly factor for us.
The most recent news about North Sentinel Island was in November 2018, when a American missionary came to this isolated island. At that time, he rented a boat and hired several local fishermen at a high price. sent to the island. Although he did not understand the native language, he bravely faced the natives with his Bible. As soon as he got on the beach, he was surrounded and stabbed to death with a spear. Three years have passed, but his body is still lying on the island. The U.S. government also took the lead in stating that in order to protect the only primitive tribes left on the earth, the people on the island will not be subject to any form of occupation.
The question is coming. After discovering the primitive civilization, should we take the initiative to contact it? Here are some real-life cases that have happened to you. Many indigenous tribes lived in the Andaman Islands before, and the British colonists who landed on the island made them give up their resistance and receive a modern education. But the people in these tribes have been suffering from epidemic diseases one after another, and some even died just after going out. Another example is the Galois, who live well on the island. The local area just connects several islands together. As a result, the isolated tribe has become a famous tourist check-in place. Hundreds of thousands of tourists come here every day.
And the Garowas, like animals, are for tourists to visit, too much to satisfy their own curiosity, tourists often take food to make these indigenous people sing, dance, and even strip performances.Therefore, after the discovery of North Sentinel Island, everyone felt that it was so rare and a rare piece of virgin land. The indigenous people vowed to defend their land, but in exchange for a long-term stable living environment. So for these natives, not disturbing is protection.
