They are the amazing pictures that were beamed around the globe: a handful of warriors from an 'undiscovered tribe' in the rainforest on the Brazilian-Peruvian border brandishing bows and arrows at the aircraft that photographed them.Or so the story was told and sold. But it has now emerged that, far from being unknown, the tribe's existence has been noted since 1910 and the mission to photograph them was undertaken in order to prove that 'uncontacted' tribes still existed in an area endangered by the menace of the logging industry.
I first saw this photo a couple of weeks ago...it's a fake...go figure...had I believed it in the first place I would have already posted it...
Update: the picture is not a hoax...this tribe exists:

Your buddy on CNN- Anderson Cooper
said right away he thought there
was something wrong with the idea
that they had just been discovered.
So he was correct, hugh? I thought
maybe it was just some guys dressed
up to look like a " lost tribe".
HOT and HUMID. I'm in for the day.
Now that I have TV again, I might hear things like this.
