Primitive women in the jungle. Modern savagery

Exact amount African nationalities are unknown, and range from five hundred to seven thousand. This is explained by the vagueness of the separation criteria, in which residents of two neighboring villages can classify themselves as different nationalities without having any special differences. Scientists are inclined to the figure of 1-2 thousand to determine ethnic communities.

The bulk of the peoples of Africa include groups consisting of several thousand and sometimes hundreds of people, but at the same time they do not exceed 10% of the total population of this continent. As a rule, such small ethnic groups are the most savage tribes. The Mursi tribe, for example, belongs to this group.

Tribal Journeys Ep 05 The Mursi:

Living in southwestern Ethiopia, on the border with Kenya and Sudan, settled in Mago Park, the Mursi tribe is distinguished by unusually strict customs. They can rightfully be nominated for the title: the most aggressive ethnic group.

They are prone to frequent alcohol consumption and uncontrolled use of weapons (everyone constantly carries Kalashnikov assault rifles or fighting sticks with them). In fights, they can often beat each other almost to death, trying to prove their dominance in the tribe.

Scientists attribute this tribe to a mutated Negroid race, With distinctive features in the form of short stature, wide bones and crooked legs, low and tightly compressed foreheads, flattened noses and inflated short necks.

The more public Mursi who come into contact with civilization may not always have all these characteristic attributes, but the exotic appearance of their lower lip is business card tribe.

The lower lip is cut in childhood, pieces of wood are inserted there, gradually increasing their diameter, and on the wedding day a “plate” of baked clay is inserted into it - debi (up to 30 centimeters!!). If a Mursi girl does not make such a hole in her lip, then they will give a very small ransom for her.

When the plate is pulled out, the lip hangs down in a long, round rope. Almost all Mursi have no front teeth, and their tongue is cracked and bleeding.

The second strange and terrifying decoration of Mursi women is the monista, which is made from human phalanges of fingers (nek). One person has only 28 of these bones in his hands. Each necklace costs its victims five or six tassels; for some lovers of “costume jewelry,” the monista wraps around the neck in several rows, glistening greasyly and emitting a sweetish, rotting smell of melted human fat, which is rubbed on every bone every day. The source for beads never runs low: the priestess of the tribe is ready to deprive the hands of a man who has broken the laws for almost every offense.

It is customary for this tribe to do scarification (scarring). Men can afford scarring only after the first murder of one of their enemies or ill-wishers.

Their religion, animism, deserves a longer and more shocking story.
Briefly: women are Priestesses of Death, so they give their husbands drugs and poisons every day. The High Priestess distributes antidotes, but sometimes salvation does not come to everyone. In such cases, a white cross is drawn on the widow's plate, and she becomes a very respected member of the tribe, who is not eaten after death, but is buried in the trunks of special ritual trees. Honor is due to such priestesses due to the fulfillment of the main mission - the will of the God of Death Yamda, which they were able to fulfill by destroying the physical body and freeing the highest spiritual Essence from their man.

The rest of the dead will be collectively eaten by the entire tribe. Soft tissues are boiled in a cauldron, bones are used for amulets and thrown in swamps to mark dangerous places.

What seems very wild for a European is commonplace and tradition for the Mursi.

Do you dream of visiting national parks Africa, see wild animals in their natural habitat and enjoy the last untouched corners of our planet? Safari in Tanzania is an unforgettable journey through the African savannah!

The bulk of the peoples of Africa include groups consisting of several thousand and sometimes hundreds of people, but at the same time they do not exceed 10% of the total population of this continent. As a rule, such small ethnic groups are the most savage tribes.

The Mursi tribe, for example, belongs to this group.

The Ethiopian Mursi tribe is the most aggressive ethnic group

Ethiopia is the oldest country in the world. It is Ethiopia that is considered the ancestor of humanity; it was here that the remains of our ancestor, modestly named Lucy, were found.
More than 80 ethnic groups live in the country.

Living in southwestern Ethiopia, on the border with Kenya and Sudan, settled in Mago Park, the Mursi tribe is distinguished by unusually strict customs. They can rightfully be nominated for the title of the most aggressive ethnic group.

Prone to frequent alcohol consumption and uncontrolled use of weapons. IN Everyday life The main weapon of the tribe's men is the Kalashnikov assault rifle, which they buy in Sudan.

In fights, they can often beat each other almost to death, trying to prove their dominance in the tribe.

Scientists attribute this tribe to a mutated Negroid race, with distinctive features such as short stature, wide bones and crooked legs, low and tightly compressed foreheads, flattened noses and pumped-up short necks.

Mursi women's bodies often look flabby and sickly, with sagging bellies and breasts, and hunched backs. There is practically no hair, which was often hidden under intricate headdresses of a very fancy type, using as material everything that could be picked up or caught nearby: rough skins, branches, dried fruits, swamp shellfish, someone's tails, dead insects and even incomprehensible stinking carrion.

Most famous feature The Mursi tribe has a tradition of inserting plates into the lips of girls.

The more public Mursi who come into contact with civilization may not always have all these characteristic attributes, but the exotic appearance of their lower lip is the calling card of the tribe.

Plates are made different sizes made of wood or clay, the shape can be round or trapezoidal, sometimes with a hole in the middle. For beauty, the plates are covered with a pattern.

The lower lip is cut in childhood, and pieces of wood are inserted there, gradually increasing their diameter.

Mursi girls begin wearing plates at the age of 20, six months before marriage. The lower lip is pierced and a small disc is inserted into it; after the lip is stretched, the disc is replaced with a larger one, and so on until the desired diameter is reached (up to 30 centimeters!!).

The size of the plate matters: the larger the diameter, the more the girl is valued and the more cattle the groom will pay for her. Girls must wear these plates at all times except when sleeping and eating, and they can also take them out if there are no males of the tribe nearby.

When the plate is pulled out, the lip hangs down in a long, round rope. Almost all Mursi have no front teeth, and their tongue is cracked and bleeding.

The second strange and terrifying decoration of Mursi women is the monista, which is made from human phalanges of fingers (nek). One person has only 28 of these bones in his hands. Each necklace usually consists of phalanges of five or six tassels; for some lovers of “costume jewelry,” the monista is wrapped around the neck in several rows

It glistens greasyly and emits a sweetish rotting smell of melted human fat; every bone is rubbed daily. The source for beads never runs low: the priestess of the tribe is ready to deprive the hands of a man who has broken the laws for almost every offense.

It is customary for this tribe to do scarification (scarring).

Men can afford scarring only after the first murder of one of their enemies or ill-wishers. If they kill a man, they decorate right hand, if a woman, then the left one.

Their religion, animism, deserves a longer and more shocking story.
Short: women are priestesses of death, so they give their husbands drugs and poisons every day.

The High Priestess distributes antidotes, but sometimes salvation does not come to everyone. In such cases, a white cross is drawn on the widow's plate, and she becomes a very respected member of the tribe, who is not eaten after death, but is buried in the trunks of special ritual trees. Honor is due to such priestesses due to the fulfillment of the main mission - the will of the God of Death Yamda, which they were able to fulfill by destroying the physical body and freeing the highest spiritual Essence from their man.

The rest of the dead will be collectively eaten by the entire tribe. Soft tissues are boiled in a cauldron, bones are used for amulets and thrown in swamps to mark dangerous places.

What seems very wild for a European is commonplace and tradition for the Mursi.

Bushmen tribe

African Bushmen are the most ancient representatives human race. And this is not speculation at all, but a scientifically proven fact. Who are these ancient people?

The Bushmen are a group of hunting tribes in South Africa. Now these are the remains of a large ancient African population. Bushmen are distinguished by their short stature, wide cheekbones, narrow eyes and much swollen eyelids. It is difficult to determine the real color of their skin, because in the Kalahari they are not allowed to waste water on washing. But you can notice that they are much lighter than their neighbors. Their skin tone is slightly yellowish, which is more common among South Asians.

Young Bushmen are considered the most beautiful among the female population of Africa.

But once they reach puberty and become mothers, these beauties are simply unrecognizable. Bushmen women have overdeveloped hips and buttocks, and their stomachs are constantly swollen. This is a consequence of poor nutrition.

To distinguish a pregnant Bushwoman from the rest of the women of the tribe, she is coated with ash or ocher, since this is very difficult to do in appearance. By the age of 35, Bushman men begin to look like octogenarians, due to the fact that their skin sagging and their bodies become covered with deep wrinkles.

Life in Kalahari is very harsh, but even here there are laws and rules. The most important resource in the desert is water. There are old people in the tribe who know how to find water. At the place that they indicate, the representatives of the tribe either dig wells or drain water using plant stems.

Each Bushman tribe has a secret well, which is carefully blocked with stones or covered with sand. During the dry season, the Bushmen dig a hole at the bottom of a dry well, take a plant stem, suck water through it, take it into their mouths, and then spit it into the shell of an ostrich egg.

The South African Bushmen tribe is the only people on Earth whose men have a constant erection. This phenomenon does not cause any discomfort or inconvenience, except for the fact that when hunting on foot, men have to attach the penis to their belt so as not to cling to it. branches.

Bushmen don't know what it is private property. All animals and plants growing in their territory are considered common. Therefore, they hunt both wild animals and farm cows. For this they were very often punished and destroyed by entire tribes. Nobody wants neighbors like this.

Shamanism is very popular among the Bushmen tribes. They do not have leaders, but there are elders and healers who not only treat diseases, but also communicate with spirits. Bushmen are very afraid of the dead, and firmly believe in afterlife. They pray to the sun, moon, stars. But they are not asking for health or happiness, but for success in hunting.

The Bushman tribes speak Khoisan languages, which are very difficult for Europeans to pronounce. Characteristic these languages ​​have click consonants. Representatives of the tribe speak very quietly among themselves. This is a long-standing habit of hunters - so as not to spook the game.

There is confirmed evidence that a hundred years ago they were engaged in drawing. They are still found in caves cave drawings, depicting people and various animals: buffaloes, gazelles, birds, ostriches, antelopes, crocodiles.

Their drawings also contain unusual fairy tale characters: monkey people, eared snakes, crocodile-faced people. In the desert there is a whole gallery under open air, which presents these amazing drawings by unknown artists.

But now the Bushmen do not paint; they are excellent in dance, music, pantomime and stories.

In our age high technology, various gadgets and broadband Internet, there are still people who have not seen all this. Time seems to have stood still for them; they don’t really make contact with outside world, and their way of life has not changed for thousands of years.

In the forgotten and undeveloped corners of our planet live such uncivilized tribes that you are simply amazed that time has not touched them with its modernizing hand. Living, like their ancestors, among palm trees and feeding on hunting and pasture, these guys feel great and do not rush to the “concrete jungle” of big cities.

OfficePlankton decided to highlight the wildest tribes of our time that actually exist.

1 Sentinelese

Having chosen the island of North Sentinel, between India and Thailand, the Sentinelese have occupied almost the entire coast and greet with arrows anyone who tries to establish contact with them. By hunting, gathering and fishing, and intermarrying, the tribe maintains a population of approximately 300 people.

An attempt to contact these people ended in shelling by the National Geographic group, but only after they had left gifts on the shore, among which red buckets were especially popular. They shot the abandoned pigs from afar and buried them, without even thinking about eating them; everything else was thrown into the ocean in a heap.

An interesting fact is that they predict natural disasters and hide en masse deeper into the jungle when storms approach. The tribe survived both the 2004 Indian earthquake and numerous devastating tsunamis.

2 Maasai

These born pastoralists are the largest and most warlike tribe in Africa. They live only by cattle breeding, not neglecting to steal cattle from other, “lower”, as they consider, tribes, because, in their opinion, their supreme god gave them all the animals on the planet. It is the photograph of them with their earlobes pulled back and discs the size of a good tea saucer inserted into their lower lip that you come across on the Internet.

Maintaining a good fighting spirit, considering as men only all those who killed a lion with a spear, the Massai fought back against European colonialists and invaders from other tribes, owning the ancestral territories of the famous Serengeti Valley and the Ngorongoro volcano. However, under the influence of the 20th century, the number of people in the tribe is declining.

Polygamy, which was once considered honorable, has now become simply necessary as there are fewer and fewer men. Children herd cattle almost from the age of 3, and the women do the rest of the farming while the men doze with a spear in their hand inside the hut in Peaceful time or with guttural sounds they run on military campaigns against neighboring tribes.

3 Nicobar and Andaman tribes

An aggressive company of cannibal tribes lives, as you might guess, by raiding and eating each other. The Korubo tribe holds the lead among all these savages. The men, disdainful of hunting and gathering, are very skilled in making poison darts, catching snakes with their bare hands to do this, and stone axes, grinding the edge of the stone all day long to such an extent that blowing off their head becomes a very doable task.

Constantly fighting among themselves, the tribes, however, do not raid endlessly, since they understand that the supply of “people” is very slowly renewed. Some tribes generally reserve only special holidays for this - the holidays of the goddess of Death. Women of the Nicobar and Andaman tribes also do not hesitate to eat their children or old people in case of unsuccessful raids on neighboring tribes.

4 Piraha

A rather small tribe also lives in the Brazilian jungle - about two hundred people. They are notable for having the most primitive language on the planet and the absence of at least some kind of number system. Holding primacy among the most undeveloped tribes, if this can be called primacy, of course, the Pirahã have no mythology, no history of the creation of the world and no gods.

They are forbidden to talk about what they have not learned own experience, adopt the words of other people and introduce new designations into your language. There are also no shades of colors, weather symbols, animals or plants. They live mainly in huts made of branches, refusing to accept gifts of all kinds of objects of civilization. Piraha, however, are quite often called as guides into the jungle, and, despite their inadaptability and lack of development, have not yet been noticed in aggression.

5 Loaves

The most brutal tribe lives in the forests of Papua New Guinea, between two chains of mountains; they were discovered very late, only in the 90s of the last century. There is a tribe with a funny Russian-sounding name that sounds like something from the Stone Age. Dwellings - children's huts made of twigs on trees, which we built in childhood - protection from sorcerers, they will find them on the ground.

Stone axes and knives made from animal bones, noses and ears are pierced with the teeth of killed predators. The loaves hold wild pigs in high esteem, which they do not eat, but tame, especially those weaned from their mother at a young age, and use as riding ponies. Only when the pig gets old and can no longer carry the load and the little monkey-like people that loaves are, the pig can be slaughtered and eaten.
The entire tribe is extremely warlike and hardy, the cult of the warrior flourishes there, the tribe can sit on larvae and worms for weeks, and despite the fact that all the women of the tribe are “common”, the festival of love occurs only once a year, the rest of the time men should not pester to women.

Hot water, light, TV, computer - all these items are familiar to modern man. But there are places on the planet where these things can cause shock and awe like magic. It's about about the settlements of wild tribes that have preserved their way of life and habits since ancient times. And these are not the wild tribes of Africa, who now wear comfortable clothes and know how to communicate with other peoples. We are talking about Aboriginal settlements that were discovered relatively recently. They do not seek to meet modern people, quite the contrary. If you try to visit them, you may be met with spears or arrows.

The development of digital technology and the exploration of new territories leads a person to meet unknown inhabitants of our planet. Their habitat is hidden from prying eyes. Settlements may be located in deep forests or on uninhabited islands.

Tribes of Nicobar and Andaman Islands

On a group of islands located in the Indian Ocean, 5 tribes live to this day, the development of which stopped in stone age. They are unique in their culture and way of life. The official authorities of the islands look after the aborigines and try not to interfere in their lives and everyday life. The total population of all tribes is about 1000 people. The settlers are engaged in hunting, fishing, farming and have virtually no contact with the outside world. One of the most evil tribes is the inhabitants of Sentinel Island. The number of all settlers of the tribe does not exceed 250 people. But, despite their small numbers, these natives are ready to repel anyone who sets foot on their lands.

Tribes of North Sentinel Island

The inhabitants of Sentinel Island belong to the group of so-called uncontacted tribes. They differ high level aggression and unsociability towards a stranger. It is interesting that the appearance and development of the tribe is still not fully known. Scientists cannot understand how black people could begin to live in such a limited space on an island washed by the ocean. There is an assumption that these lands were inhabited by inhabitants more than 30,000 years ago. People remained within their lands and homes and did not move to other territories. Time passed, and water separated them from other lands. Since the tribe did not develop in terms of technology, they did not have contacts with the outside world, therefore any guest for these people is a stranger or enemy. Moreover, communication with civilized people is simply contraindicated for the Sentinel Island tribe. Viruses and bacteria, to which modern humans have immunity, can easily kill any member of the tribe. The only positive contact with the settlers of the island was made in the mid-90s of the last century.

Wild tribes in the Amazon forests

Are there wild tribes today that have never been contacted? modern people? Yes, there are such tribes, and one of them was recently discovered in the dense forests of the Amazon. This happened due to active deforestation. Scientists have long said that these places could be inhabited by wild tribes. This guess was confirmed. The only video filming of the tribe was carried out with light aircraft one of the largest television channels in the United States. The footage shows that the settlers' huts are made in the form of tents covered with leaves. The inhabitants themselves are armed with primitive spears and bows.

Piraha

The Piraha tribe numbers about 200 people. They live in the Brazilian jungle and differ from other aborigines in their very weak development of language and the absence of a number system. Simply put, they can't count. They can also be called the most illiterate inhabitants of the planet. Members of the tribe are forbidden to speak about what they do not know from their own experience or to adopt words from other languages. In Piraha speech there is no designation of animals, fish, plants, colors or weather. Despite this, the natives are not malicious towards others. Moreover, they often act as guides through the jungle.

Loaves

This tribe lives in the forests of Papua, New Guinea. They were discovered only in the mid-90s of the last century. They found a home in the thickets of forests between two mountain ranges. Despite their funny name, the Aborigines cannot be called good-natured. The cult of the warrior is widespread among the settlers. They are so hardy and strong-willed that they can feed on larvae and pasture for weeks until they find suitable prey while hunting.

Loaves live mainly in trees. By making their huts from branches and twigs like huts, they protect themselves from evil spirits and witchcraft. The tribe reveres pigs. These animals are used like donkeys or horses. They can be slaughtered and eaten only when the pig becomes old and can no longer carry a load or a person.

In addition to the aborigines living on islands or in tropical forests, you can meet people who live according to old customs in our country. So in Siberia for a long time lived the Lykov family. Fleeing persecution in the 30s of the last century, they went into the remote taiga of Siberia. For 40 years they survived by adapting to the harsh conditions of the forest. During this time, the family managed to almost completely lose the entire crop of plants and recreate it anew from a few surviving seeds. Old Believers were engaged in hunting and fishing. The Lykovs made their clothes from the skins of killed animals and coarse home-woven hemp threads.

The family has preserved old customs, chronology and the original Russian language. In 1978, they were accidentally discovered by geologists. The meeting became a fatal discovery for the Old Believers. Contact with civilization led to diseases of individual family members. Two of them died suddenly from kidney problems. Died a little later younger son from pneumonia. This once again proved that contact of modern man with representatives of more ancient peoples can become deadly for the latter.

Photographer Jimmy Nelson travels the world photographing wild and semi-wild tribes who manage to preserve traditional lifestyle V modern world. Every year it becomes more and more difficult for these peoples, but they do not give up and do not leave the territories of their ancestors, continuing to live the same way they lived.
