"The most lonely person in the world", died ...
Author:Global Times Time:2022.09.01
He lives in the Matong area of Brazil and is said to be the last member of his tribe. He hides in the cave he dugs most of his time, known as "índio do build" or "Aboriginal people in the cave".
Over the years, he has stayed away from human smoke and lived isolated from the world. He resisted anyone who tried to approach, and if someone was approaching, he would shoot an archery or set a trap. He is also called "the most lonely person in the world".
Recently, the mysterious and lonely man was confirmed to have died. With his departure, another language and culture have not been decrypted, but they disappeared into history, leaving only endless booing and regrets.

"The most lonely person in the world"
During his lifetime tribe, he only survived
The man lived in the Tanaru area, Rondonia before his lifetime, and was considered the only member of a local aboriginal tribe.
The "Guardian" quoted the Aboriginal expert Santos and pointed out that the man had had a "traumatic" experience with non -aboriginal people in the past, causing him not to believe anyone. It is said that in the 1980s, illegal ranch owners left mouse medicine in the tribe, causing everyone except the man to die.
The Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) also reported that it is believed that as early as the 1970s, most people in his tribe were killed by the farm owner who wanted to expand the land. By 1995, six remaining members of his tribe died after being attacked by illegal miners.
He has since become the only survivor in the tribe and "the most lonely person in the world."

The life of "cave people"
Dig holes to hunt and hide, collect honey fruits
The Brazilian National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) discovered his existence in 1996 and had monitored his security in the region since then.
Because the man has always avoided contact with the outside world, people do not know what language he speaks or which ethnic group he might belong to.
Santos and others have left some tools, seeds, and food as gifts for the man, but they are always rejected.
In 2018, the staff of the Aboriginal Management Department successfully filmed him in the jungle. In the picture, you can see that he cuts trees with something like ax.
The staff also discovered his cottage house and deep holes. The bottom of some holes has a sharp spike, which is believed to be the trap of his hunting animal, which can be used to catch wild boars. Some holes seem to be used for hiding.
The evidence discovered in the area has also shown that the man has grown corn and cassava, and has collected honey, papaya, banana and other fruits.

The remains covered with feathers
He may know that he will die
Recently, the Funai staff of the man's Funai remotely discovered the man's body.
He was about 60 years old and lay on a hammock outside the cottage. The remains are in a "rot" state, covering many bright feathers.
Aboriginal expert Santos told the local media that perhaps the man knew that he was about to die, so he put his feathers on himself. "He is waiting for death without signs of violence." Santos also said that he may have died 40 to 50 days before the remains were discovered.
Local officials also said that his hut did not show any signs of invasion. The management department will conduct an autopsy to determine whether he is infected with certain diseases.
With the news of men's death, many people regret the disappearance of another language and culture.
The "Guardian" quoted the statistics of Aboriginal institutions that the number of existing tribes was between 235 and 300, but it was difficult to master exact numbers because some tribes rarely contacted the society. In addition, at least 30 tribes are allegedly living in the jungle, and people know nothing about their exact number, language or culture.
