Joe Rogan on Uncontacted Tribes

I have this morning I saw video we were talking about it right before the podcast about the the guy in India He was trying to convert them apparently Jamie said and they shot him full of arrows With the one of the last Uncontacted tribes in the world, but what a doofus. What'd you think was gonna happen, right? Jamie said the guys been there before right? Did you say so they knew him though the guy? Well, I don't know the people that killed him knew him Wouldn't they say there's between 50 and 100 people on this island? I believe see if you can get a good article on it set the number So there's like 50 or 50 to 150 people they don't exactly know and they they came there Say from it's the size of Manhattan's an island and they came here from Africa like what is like 60,000 years ago That's what I'd read. I don't remember exactly where I'd they are near India. Yeah. Yeah somewhere in India or near near India So Island, um, fucking dude was trying to bring him to Jesus and they said if you like the guy we'll introduce it to him They filled that motherfucker full. Oh, wow. It's in the middle of nowhere. Oh, that's fuck That bitch is in the middle of nowhere. So they came off of Africa That's crazy How the fuck did that out like you see all that shit? That's crazy. Yeah You know, it's interesting to in England. They call people from India Asians They think of that as Asia because it is But we got weird with oriental at some point in time oriental became Derogatory some weird way. Yeah oriental was normal like oriental rugs. That was like, yeah a thing you go to oriental rugs Yeah, that's like if someone was saying, you know spic toothpaste like hey, yeah Hey motherfucker, you can't say that shit anymore But at one point in time oriental was like a total it was a real thing. Yeah, it's part of the language But so now we say Asian because we try to be politically correct, but Asia's fucking Giants, there's a lot of different kinds of folks in Asia, you know What were those like the the people that ended up on that island one dude? They know people Yeah, they how the fuck do you you're running away from something to end up? Well, everybody's that's you know, if you read about the migration of people from Africa spreading out That's a big part of what they're doing is trying to get away from people that are trying to kill them Yeah, like it's all either they run out of resources They run out of food or they're being they're being forced out of areas like new people come in people escape and survive and Did our entire history as human beings? It's like bigger more powerful human beings move into an area and kill and rape and then spread Spread out and then keep going and everybody else just keeps going and they eventually Fortify in the distance to get a new city and they try to hold them off and the new people are coming through I mean there's so many instances from the Mongols to the Romans being go back and back and back all through history But if you broke it down if you looked at it like a math problem, like what's happening here? Here's what's happening these groups people get together and then they develop some shit that kills other groups people and they push into those groups People is try to fuck their chicks Steal their money fuck their chicks eat their food and then they do the same thing And then and then people go back and forth and and this is all people have done like there's never been this time Where no one was at war like if you ever gone through human history There's no like well, there was a period of a hundred years where there was no wars. It's never happened Yeah, never and ever happened. You're the best guy to ask about this Isn't impressive how they built those arrows right the craftsmanship because they're proper arrow what they look like They have pictures of the arrows, but apparently he died just of the arrows hitting him So the way I was thinking it was in order for an arrow to be done properly, right? And you could aim and then hit someone and kill them It has to go through the whole structure of the pelvis. No, it doesn't have to I mean, especially the kid hit him a bunch of times, you know If they hit him a bunch of times they got a shot him in the gut even with shitty arrows Well, I don't think they have shitty arrows because they need them to survive right? So they're guys there's got to be island animals and they're hunting these animals But it's not that hard for these people and these kind of tribes to if they have the proper wood on the island you know, they They've been people have been making bows and arrows for a long time and they'll use certain fibers from certain trees and they weave them together and make a bowstring and you know if they have enough good wood and they have good fiber and they have The knowledge I mean even if they don't have metal you could still to this day. I found one in Nevada I found an old I don't know what era it's from but I found a an arrowhead But why I was actually bow hunting I found an actual arrowhead from some Native American tribe that they left by and apparently they were like really common like people find Them all the time because you think of the thousands of years that the indigenous people were here and all the different animals They shot with bows and arrows. They figured out how to do it Yeah So these people must know how to do it too And if they have enough good stone to make you know something flint or something similar to make the arrowheads Or maybe they're using something toxic. Maybe they have some sort of toxic plant And they just dipping the tip of a sharpened tip into it If you dip the tip in something toxic don't can you eat that mean? Yeah, you can't apparently but but not the area near the air question. It's a good question I don't know but a lot of these tribes that shoot things that they shoot things with poison on the end of their arrows You know, yeah, well the idea is that they just they want to eat it, right? They don't if they don't hit it perfectly, they're not gonna wait for the perfect shot They're just trying to hit it so they can hit it in the ass or in the neck or wherever the fuck they hit it if they have poison That thing's gonna die, you know, they use poison for a lot of weird shit, too. They use poison to fish It's really strange. They take the poison the fish. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy They take this plant and they smash it up and they make it's like this green plant I think that was that the Yanomame of Some more maybe Bolivia or something like that It's one of those tribal peoples that lives almost almost Uncontacted but still some kind like they'll have like under armor t-shirts on and shit. It's weird It's weird But they you know They're barefoot and they take these plants and I forget what the kind of what the planet is But they smash this plant up and make like this green pulp and then they put this pulp in these ponds And these fish just float it's some sort of toxin and it just fucks these fish up and they just float up to the top And then they go and scoop the fish and take them out of there, but it like paralyzes them It's not toxic to us. I guess I don't know man I mean maybe a little but I guess you you have to be really fucking hungry to think okay I'm not killing enough or getting enough fruits or vegetables I'm gonna poison these things and I'd rather die being poisoned than starving to death Well, I think these people have been on the edge of survival if they figured out survival down to Like everything in their area. They know what's edible. They know what's dangerous what to avoid what to Cultivate what to seek out they just You know, they know how to do it So if these people are on our if it's a resource rich island It seems to be like an island the middle of the ocean as long as they don't kill too much As long as they keep a certain healthy population of animals around and they're cognizant of that. Is this these people? It's a video I found on you 2008 where some fishermen or someone found them and get you down there given coconuts Wow so these people apparently If you if you follow the the story they came from Africa 60-something thousand years ago and I guess probably During the ice age the coastline was very different right the water levels were way lower and then when the ice all melted the oceans rose and Then we get we got now so maybe it was a much larger Island or maybe it was like the Bering landmass where you could get across it Fuck and they must speak a language that no one else it not even close to anything else since it's been like so long Fuck man, here's it combined with language throw it here is combined with body language. They seem to have a link Hmm, so they were like telling them to throw things and they're giving them coconuts That's pretty cool. It's crazy. How friendly they are without knowing who the person is and where they're from Well, I mean the dudes giving them free food. So I think they're pumped. Yeah, yeah a bunch of free coconuts It's definitely a way to come friends with people. Yeah, that guy if that guy had coconuts instead of a Bible Yeah, they probably threw Bibles like You fuck they tried to eat the Bible. They were like motherfucker. Yeah, look at that Imagine some guy just showing up and giving you free food Can you see my dick? Is that what is it? What is this video? Videos outrageous. All right, that's a real translation. Yeah. Yeah, I really So it says a wooden axe similar to a mountain axe. Yeah, that's a fucking crazy looking carried by all men So they yeah, so they might not even have like metal It seems like if he's got a wooden axe I wonder if they have what what they're using for arrowheads and stuff like that This kind of stuff fucking interests me. Oh dude is fascinating man. The thing is it's really what's weird about it is you can't really Go there like yeah, you guys ever read or watch that that movie about The City of Z the Lost City of Z. Is that what it was called? It was about an explorer from England who made his way to South America and eventually got eaten by cannibals Allegedly they think oh, but he was looking for this lost Mayan or Aztec City. Was it a Mayan City? Yeah, so he was looking for some you know, apparently and they they know this for sure now There's some really really really ancient cities in the Amazon and they don't know what they are They don't know from when they don't know who built them. So they don't even know from who it's a different culture Well, it's a culture that's long gone and it's the area where they had the city has been absorbed by the jungle So they they find it I think either from satellites or from some kind of imagery where they're noticing these really obvious grid patterns that indicate Irrigation and that they had fields and they had streets and so this there's this English explorer. What was the gentleman's name? Harry Fawcett. Yeah, it's the book's not bad Percy Fawcett Percy Fawcett And so this this dude went to the jungles of Brazil multiple times looking for this lost city of gold. Okay 1867 Yeah, so he was really it's a cool movie, but not it's not the best movie But it's cool because it's like you get to see the lost city of Z He found it before he was killed. No, no, no, but he found something he found So I don't want to spoil or the movie, but it's um, it's not a bad movie What's interesting to me is that these people you just got to put yourself in the mind of people that lived in 1860 and they they literally had no idea what the fuck was going on in South America They just but someone would come back and sir Arthur has a story of his journeys down the jungle River and the guy would stand up We met the uncontacted tribe and they would talk about I've brought back pot pottery and this is a spearhead and you know And here's drawings of the animals that I saw is get drawings of crocodiles and fucking giant piranhas and shit
