Why are isolated tribes so interested in scientists?

https://pimeakronikka.blogspot.com/ Kimmo Huosionmaa Isolated tribes are very interesting, from a scientific point of view. And the reason, why those groups of people, what lives in primitive conditions is so fascinating is their medical and another survivor skills. The reason, why those things are very interesting, is how those people avoid the diseases like cancer or infections? Those things are cured in the western world in hospitals and in the cure is needed the very complicated systems, but the main questions are, how those tribes, what lives in the forests without electricity and other equipment can give right medicals for the members of the group without x-ray machines and other medical indicators? How they can give the cure for infections, or how they can take care of their teeth and other condition? And the things that are very interesting are, how those people can survive in the jungle, what is full of snakes and spiders, what can cause very bad injuries or even kill w...

”Eldorado” and the problems of meridians

Lake Guatavita (Picture 1) Kimmo Huosionmaa Eldorado or ”El Hombre Dorado” was a ritual, where the Indian chief of Muisca-Indians jumped to the Lake Parima, and his skin was covered by the golden dust. The Englishman Sir Walter Raleigh was looking for that lake, and in one case he was trying to dry Lake Guatavita.

The ”Lost city Z”, one of the greatest mystery of Amazonia

Lieutenant- colonel  Percival Harrison Fawcett (1867-1925) (Picture 1) Kimmo Huosionmaa I once read a story of the mystery of Amazonia, what was called as ”The lost city Z”. This case could be only a hoax, except it cost the life of British expansionist Percival Harrison Fawcett (1865-1925), who was in the rank of lieutenant- colonel in British army’s artillery. The evidence of the lost city must be very strong, because the lieutenant-colonel payroll is not very short, and those persons are not believe anything without good reason, and this is the question of this ”lost city”. Why this lieutenant-colonel left to the jungle, and then he was lost in there. The reason, why this case is so great mystery, is connected with the last letter, what Fawcett wrote. In the last picture that he sent to the civilized areas, were pictures of the man with clean clothes. And the question of disappearing of this person is that, if he was in trouble, why he would not go with those men, ...
