In 1971 a group of people was found that created a huge dispute between scientists. On June 4, 1971 are group of primitive men, women, and children were discovered. By many people it was believed that these people could help us understand more about our past. However there were also many people who believed that the Tasaday were a hoax. The Tasaday are a tribe that have inspired much controversy over the years and are probably a hoax. There is a lot of evidence that indicates that the Tasaday are fake; there is also a lot of evidence that suggests they are real. The Tasaday, who were supposedly isolated for 150 years, have no hunting technology. Without being able to hunt the Tasaday would go hungry or would die off. Also, the they have very little knowledge of local plant life. After being isolated for so long they should have had a very substantial knowledge of this subject. Thirdly, their caves were extremely clean. This indicates that the Tasaday lived in the …show more content…
On ABC television two Tasaday, Lobo and Adug, admitted the entire thing was a hoax. Why would these people possibly say they were fake if they were not. There is nothing they could gain from this. Also for a group of people that gets all of their food from hunting and gathering they have very little knowledge of these things. When given a test, the Tasaday were below average in their knowledge of local plant life. The Tasaday also had no tools to hunt anything over the size of a large crab. What did the Tasaday eat. There is no way they could have kept in good health while eating so little food. Also the Tasaday were only given steel tools very recently. If this is true where the homemade tools they had used for over a century. None of these tools were ever found. Also the Tasaday were found by a scientist wearing normal clothes. This shows that they were not truly a tribe that was isolated, they were just a bunch of actors. The Tasaday were a hoax constructed by Manguel
I learned a lot more facts about how the Timucua Indians came about. In the 16th century people living in northeast Florida spoke timucuan; that’s why they were known as the
Lies and deception have always played a role in politics throughout human history. These are referred to as conspiracies, which are secret plans by a group to execute unlawful or harmful actions. Scottish history is not an exception. The Gowrie conspiracy exhibits rising questions and potential answers to King James’s use of the military to kill a noble family under the reasoning that he was physically threatened. However, many scholars formed theories that do not align with the King’s story. The presence of theories that are counter to the recorded history portrays a political trend suggesting fallibility of monarchy regime that has the power to abuse military repression, which undermines the legitimacy of authority.
They then could have all starved and died or either got killed by or married into Native American tribes. There is not a lot of proof to support this theory so it is unlikely.
Jane Wheeler, an American archaeozoologist, discovered the secret hidden within the alpaca mummies over a decade ago. She researched the alpaca mummies and performed DNA and skin tests on the alpaca mummies. It was a startling discovery when she realized how perfectly preserved and intact the mummies were. These alpaca mummies had been buried beneath house floors for nearly 1,000 years. These same animals grazed El Yaral’s pastures an astounding 500 years before the rise on the Inca empire. The alpaca’s unusual burial site was due to the sacrificial ritual performed by the inhabitants of El Yaral. It is assumed that the inhabitants of El Yaral sacrificed the animals whose fiber wasn’t considered to be of use.
The Aztecs were a Mesoamerican people that lived in the area of central Mexico in the 14th, 15th and 16th century. It is said that Aztecs came from a place called Aztlan. Aztlan was the Aztec's homeland, nobody knows exactly where it was, but it is believed that Aztlan lies somewhere to the north of Mexico. Some experts claim that Aztlan is a mythical place. According to Aztec legends Huitzilopochtli, their god of war and of the sun, told them to leave Aztlan and to wander until they saw an eagle on a cactus budding out of a rock and eating a snake. The Aztecs traveled many years to find the legend that Huitzilopochtli had told. They left Aztlan in the 12th century. They built their settlements in the Valley of Mexico by Lake Texcoco. There were other Indian tribes living in the area when the Aztecs arrived. The Aztecs called their settlement Tenochtitlan. By the time they settled after two centuries of voyage they called themselves by a different name, the Mexica, but the term Aztec has been used as a ...
In today’s society the word “terrorism” has gone global. We see this term on television, in magazines and even from other people speaking of it. In their essay “Controlling Irrational Fears After 9/11”, published in 2002, Clark R. Chapman and Alan W. Harris argue that the reaction of the American officials, people and the media after the attacks of 9/11 was completely irrational due to the simple fact of fear. Chapman and Harris jump right into dismembering the irrational argument, often experienced with relationships and our personal analysis. They express how this argument came about from the terrorist being able to succeed in “achieving one major goal, which was spreading fear” among the American people (Chapman & Harris, para.1). The supporters of the irrational reaction argument state that because “Americans unwittingly cooperated with the terrorist in achieving the major goal”, the result was a widespread of disrupted lives of the Americans and if this reaction had been more rational then there would have been “less disruption in the lives of our citizens” (Chapman & Harris, para. 1).
The Taino were a simple native people. Their key descriptive factors were a short stature with bright colored painted markings and drawings covering their bodies. There dark hair and bronze complexion were no doubt a result of the fiercely hot weather of the Carribean.
The formation of Southern Utah is one of fascination. The Virgin River Anasazi were St. George’s earliest residents, occupying the area for over twelve hundred years. They left behind rock art and ruins of their dwellings. There vanishing from the area and leaving behind their dwellings and art is still a mystery to this day. The Paiute people arrived shortly after and have lived there ever since, utilizing the area as a hunting ground for deer, rabbits and other animals. The Paiutes also grew crops along the riverbeds, including corn, wheat and melons. In 1776, the Dominguez-Escalante Party became the first recorded European-Americans to visit the area. Fur trappers and government survey parties followed.
There are many legends that are told about how the Incan Empire came to be. One is that the Incans lived without houses until the Son of the Sun appeared. The Son taught agriculture and masonry. The people became so successful that they had enough food for everyone in the entire empire. Ten million people went without hunger and all had clothing. The second myth is that Manco Capac, First Inca King, and his seven siblings came from the caves of Pacariqtambo. These first Incans were created by the sun god Inti. Their mission was to bring civilization to the world. The final legend is that the god, Viracocha, created man out of clay and stone at Tiwanaku. Viracocha then led the people that he created to Cuzco. Viracocha left the humans to reign from the heaves. Viracocha gave deities to control the lives of humans. The dispute still continues on whether Viracocha, or Inti is the supreme god of the Incans.
For more than 400 years people have reported seeing large, hair-covered, man-like animals in the wilderness.Misidentification, hoax, or the real thing these sightings still continue today. In 2007 the Bigfoot Field Researches Organization or the BFRO put some photos out were they thought was a juvenile Bigfoot, others thought the photos were a bear with mange, and other people thought the creature was a chimpanzee. Many misidentifications happen and many hoax also happen to. Hoaxes happen many times, in July 2008 these two guys posted a video on youtube claiming they had discovered a dead Bigfoot in a forest. An investigator was called to investigate the body and the two guys received $50,000 as a reward. Soon after a meeting the dead Bigfoot body was delivered in a block of ice. When the body was thawed out they found out that the whole Bigfoot was fake. The two admitted that it was a hoax. Now if you try pulling one of the hoax remember that it could be dangerous. In August 2012 a man in Montana was pretending to be a Bigfoot using a suit and got hit by a
Today everybody goes back to the film that was taken by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin. It is the most famous evidence of the creature. The story is that the two men were riding horseback through the woods to Bluff Creek. When they got there they saw something crouching on the other side of the water. The creature got up two legs and started walking away, so Patterson hurried off his horse, got his camera and ran after it. In the video the creature looks like a woman and it did the Bigfoot look. They chased after it into the woods but lost it, when both of them got back to the Creek there were footprints. Both of them took plasters of the footprints. But throughout the years
It is important that people learn from history. Recently, it has become apparent that myths and folk lore may be an important part of history to consider. Convincing geological evidence has been discovered that link major geological phenomenon with myths from that region. In the Pacific North West there are legends of a boulder that is haunted by A’yahos, a spirit that can turn a person to stone and shake the ground. Geophysical images from the 1990s showed that there is a hidden fault line traversing Seattle that would have caused earthquakes.

Spanish explorer Coronado was the second European to explore the area. His expedition entered the area in 1540 until 1542 during its search for Cibola. However, he did not find it. He only found little Indian villages, including the settlement of the Zuni Pueblos, which probably had inspired the false legend.
In this documentary by The National Geographic, The New World: Nightmare in Jamestown captures what it must have been like for the settlers of Jamestown. It takes place in an archeological site which is owned by the APVA where they found remains of the original men who first arrived to the New World and who set up the colony at Jamestown. They were sent by the Virginia Company in hopes of being able to bring home gold and other riches that the Spanish had already been taking advantage of. Unfortunately, in the process, they faced disease, death, hunger, and hostility from the Indians.
