*tsunami hits India: Lets send a helicopter to see if they’re ok. *Sentinalese shoots them with arrows India: yeah they’re chillin
-
India: are you guys alright South Sentinal: shoots arrow India: yup they are alright

Fun fact: during ww2 when the Americans and Japanese were fighting over the Pacific, they flew planes over primitive islands. When explorers came to those same islands in the 70's the planes had become gods. With this in mind, it is quite possible that we are seen as devils or some sort of evil spirit.

They actually sent the US missionary back 2 times before they killed him the first time
-
Missionary: Here is my 2000 year old religion Tribes men: Here is my 60000 year old bow and arrow
-
They probably watching this video laughing under their highly advanced underground civilization
-
I researched this years ago before this blew up a couple of years ago. I remember reading that there were more sentinelese on a neighbouring island that were nearly completely wiped out by disease after the British visited in the 1800s, some of the survivors fled to North Sentinel island and thats when the people started becoming very hostile.
-
For an island thats illegal to vist it has 2 five star Google reviews. The more you know
-
I love how we accidentally started the Iron Age for them
-
Under Indian laws, getting killed by this tribe is the same as getting killed by a pack of wolves. They cannot be prosecuted. They have federal protection. Even the Indian Navy isn't allowed to operate their warships in the vicinity of this island. Legally speaking , the term murder/homicide might not even be applicable. Let's just say that Mr. Chau committed suicide.
-
Bruh i think they are still thinking that their new iron arrows are the strongest weapons on Earth
-
What if we are the sentinelese of the universe?
-
Imagine the native mythology that must have formed around the outside world. Strangers show up every number of years. Once, some people were taken and returned. Huge vessels made of strange metal have washed up. A few days after a tsunami a strange flying thing shows up in the skies. Even in the coconut contact video you can hear the noise of the boat that must have been terrifying to them. What sort of folklore would accompany these events?
-
We are basically aliens to them
-
There’s actually a dozen or so uncontacted tribes in the world today
-
Missionary: id like to talk to you about Jesus Tribe: did you bring coconuts? Missionary: erm no? Tribe: .....
-
These people don’t even know that there are memes about them
-
My mother-in-law wants to go on holiday. I told her North Sentinel Island is beautiful this time of year.
-
These tribes are really interesting. It's like watching a piece of history as it happens.
