Terrible mysteries in the Amazon jungle

The surface of the Amazon forest is up to 7 million km2, which is known as the largest 'green lung' of the planet. The largest tropical rain forest in the world is not very much secret and scary. People are concerned that the Amazon forest disaster can be buried under the terrible mysteries that exist in this forest.

If you watched the movie The Lost City of Z in 2016, you will know about Percival Fawcett, the brave English explorer of Amazonia, who disappeared (with his son and another member of the group) in 1925 on an expedition.

His story had woven many real stories of the time, and although he almost certainly died in the Amazon due to an accident, illness or the hand of an indigenous tribe that he had offended ( Writer and explorer Hugh Thomson wrote in the Washington Post that Fawcett is said to have stolen canoes.

Many expeditions were set up to find him and occasionally reports of a white man in the rainforest would revive the story for decades.

Although Fawcett lacks experience in building relationships with local tribes, he appears to be very sensitive to the tastes of British readers. At that time, he seemed to have filmed some footage and set up a report on wild life in the Amazon forest. These precious movies helped him earn extra money to cover the next adventure in the jungle.

One of Fawcett's fascinating stories is about Maricoxi, a tribe with hairy, leafy creatures. They threatened his expedition group with bows and arrows. Fawcett is said to have encountered Maricoxi in South American forests in 1914. These creatures live in the northern Maxubi tribe, with a method of communicating through growls and in particular not being friendly. human.

According to reports, the creatures of this tribe have a height of up to 3.7m, quite intelligent when they can use bows and arrows, even living in villages. There are also recorded documents, when Maricoxi people appear in their full-leaf coat, the stench emitted from their bodies has made explorers headache, dizziness and immediate disorientation. .

And the unscathed disappearance of explorer Fawcett and his colleagues is widely believed to be due to the Maricoxi tribe.

In addition to Maricoxi, the Amazon jungle contains many other terrible mysteries, the obsession of many adventurers, which are isolated tribes. According to statistics, there are about a million indigenous people living in the Amazon rainforest. There are about 400 tribes, most of them have been in contact with outsiders for hundreds of years. They hunt, fish, and farm, and have access to Western education and medicine.

But a small number of tribes remain isolated. Although they are often called unaffected people, most isolated tribes actually know about outsiders and choose to keep their distance because of avoiding the destruction, killing and spreading of diseases of outsiders to their tribe.

In July 2018, the Brazilian government secretly recorded the image of a single survivor of a tribe that other members have been killed by farmers since 1995. To help him survive At, the Government people left him some kind of seeds and agricultural tools.

The Amazon jungle is named from a Spanish soldier named Francisco de Orellana. In 1541, de Orellana was the first European to explore the area and reach the mouth of the river in 1542.

He returned to Spain with stories of gold and cinnamon that he found there. But he was also attacked by tribes trying to protect their territory. Strongly impressed by the fierce and fierce nature of the Aboriginal people, Orellana called them Amazons - alluding to female warriors in Greek mythology. And from there, whenever referring to this vast geographical area in South America, people call it Amazon.
