Videos explaining things. Mostly over topics like history, geography, economics and science.

We believe that the world is a wonderfully fascinating place, and you can find wonder anywhere you look. That is what our videos attempt to convey.

Currently, I try my best to release one video every week. Bear with me :)

why hundreds of uncontacted tribes still exist in south america:
reason 1 - big jungle

Imagine that loneliest guy, thinking he's the last surviving member of his race, running and hiding away from "aliens".

[RealLifeLore]

This is one of my favorite topics to talk about, so let me know if you guys would like to see a follow up video about the uncontacted tribes in New Guinea or Africa or next!

[axolatlas]

I can’t imagine living in a primitive way like this and one day just learning that there’s a whole world out there, full of highly advanced civilizations. It would be like some crazy alien contact.

[BigcatTVGaming]

Imagine explaining to them that we’ve been in the moon

Bruh so this one guy with stone age tech owns 42 square miles
Respecc.

Well somebody’s been skipping turns in Civilization VI

As someone who used to live in amazon state and went a few times on helping missions in the forest I can tell there aren't hundreds of uncontacted tribes there, most of them know about our civilization due to organizations that go there to help with medicines and other stuff from time to time, but yh there are A FEW (probably less than 4) uncontacted that are aggressive and the main reason some tribes are uncontacted is that the Brazilian government put those tribes in protection Laws

Imagine the stories these people must tell about the unknown objects, aircraft, in the sky

[joshuatraffanstedt]

Imagine how many extinct languages there are. Languages, cultures, artifacts lost to history. Crazy. One day we'll be lost to history too.

[trevorsmith]

20 million is actually more people than I thought lived in the amazon

[ChristiRich]

The Loneliest Man In The World doesn't sound like he's very curious to learn about the unknown.

[justanotherweirdhumanbeing]

Imagine where're the "uncontacted planet" in this galaxy and somewhere out there, there is a video just like this explaining why the United Galaxtic Federation decided to not contact the Earth.
And we wouldn't even know that this is happening....

Bruh

[brisasalvas]

I think the Brazilian policy is totally right, leave them alone!

[fatcatscantjump]

Meanwhile aliens: Why billions of uncontacted civilizations still exists in the universe

[xxTheFlyingPigxx]

Imagine if the apocalypse happened, and someone from a city found one of them. Imagine trying to convince them "no, I swear, there really were carts that could move without being pulled by horses! I swear there were, you just missed it! And we carried around these little slabs of metal and glass that had moving pictures on them and could let us talk to people on the other side of the world STOP LAUGHING I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP"

they definitely don't live exactly like our ancestors did +10, 000 years ago, and they definitely do know about modern civilization even if they don't understand it, and only know about it in vague, uncomplicated terms. like the lone guy in the exclusion zone is definitely aware of the along with the residents of north sentinel island, they know about the modern world and their informed international policy is to kill all invaders.
like, if a group of loggers massacres a tribe of people in the amazon, the neighboring tribes are going to hear about it, and they are going to talk about it with their neighbors, and so on and so forth. this has been happening since the 1600's. they aren't stupid little children, oblivious to the world.

2:29 that bridge doesn't cross the Amazon River, it's crossing the Rio Negro. There are ZERO bridges that cross the Amazon River.
