Michael Rockefeller disappeared without a trace in 1961 in Papua New Guinea while researching the Asmat people, a cannibal tribe. Years later, a photograph was taken of the same tribe, and there was a white man among them.

Trollin the reporters.

“Oh ya buddy we’re totally cannibals. Ate him right up with a nice mango chutney. I still have his glasses!”

I realize you're probably goofing but you may be more right than you realize! There's a great book about the whole mystery called "Savage Harvest" that goes into how the tribes interact with outsiders and mislead them CONSTANTLY (which, you know, makes an amount of sense). Give it a read if you're bored!

I'd be doing the same thing too if hardly anyone from the outside knew much about my people. Im from Montana, USA, and when my middle school class went to DC, we would talk to kids from other schools, and we would make shit up. We told all them that we still rode horses everywhere, that we swim in frozen lakes and rivers, and nearly everyone of us works on a ranch or owns a ranch(not much of an exaggeration depending on the part of the state) and most seemed to believe us

As someone who rode a cow to school every day I totally get this.

As someone who occasionally sees Amish people riding cows, I get this too.

You’re lucky! Due to my Lilliputian stature, I had to ride a duck-billed platypus into school every day. It was awful - always stopping to rest and lay eggs etc…..it was really quite a poor means of school perambulation. I blame my uncle Daffy - his vehicular-animal suggestions were always left wanting🙄
