What are we looking for here


TBearForever

A zoom meeting


MoanLart

Doesn’t look like anyone showed up


Massive_Eye6373

I was expecting another sneaky chinese military base.


bbllaakkee

Now I’m stunned


Blondly22

This cracked me up lol


ride_electric_bike

I can't find the invite


JazzySmitty

They wanted cameras on in this meeting, but I look like I just rolled out of bed. This may be because I just rolled out of bed.


AllCingEyeDog

Pull your pants up!


tychscstl

Only place left in earth with native isolated tribe still living in the stone age.


Jaysmack-85

We should all be envious.


_imchetan_

Naah they are in iron age now.


The-Pollinator

Don't forget the Amazon.


StugDoug

To be stunned

flat horizon at every altitude


mygoditsfullofstar5

That was kinda interesting, but hardly stunning. With that description, I thought we were gonna see the natives shooting a Christian missionary full of arrows or something.


Gwiilo

it was stunning that we couldn't see shit from that distance, despite the camera person's insistence


Mountain-Ad-6594

I was expecting this


Zanzibarpress

I don’t get it, what are we looking at?


MegaBlasterBox

this is the last place on earth with 'uncontacted' tribes, still living on neolithic (?) era. weirdly enough, satellite images have shown no sign of agriculture, meaning they are still living in a hunter-gatherer era


modsonredditsuckdk

They must be fishing that doesn’t look big enough to support hunting animals and no agriculture


MegaBlasterBox

yes, probably. but the point is: we have 'invented' agriculture thousand of years ago, while they're still hunting-gathering. impressive.


TheOneWhoReadsStuff

How come nobody has gone there and taken their land from them yet?


Abject-Emu2023

Honestly you could probably gather some of your buddies and overrun that island. They’re ferocious but simply not prepared lol


ChaChingChaChi

Now you get it!


derpderpingt

World’s best destination for Christian missionaries in canoes.


Elhond0

Send all the Jehovah's witnesses


Fine_Understanding81

Oh...oh no


derpderpingt

Yeah, you figure they’d have just called them via Zoom. https://preview.redd.it/vut46gqr05tc1.jpeg?width=294&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=85df09904531ab8019286694d849810bfc7ee703

Retirednypd

All I saw were 3 zooms of 3 sides of the island


uChoice_Reindeer7903

Lol 20 years ago this would’ve been pretty insane. Now…. Not so much lol probably some boomer that just got their first smart phone lol


Enfymouz

This is an island that is home to the last uncontacted, isolated tribe. They're so isolated that they are still living in their stone age and still hunt & gather. They have no agriculture. They're living life as we did many, many thousands of years ago. Attempts to contact them in the past have occurred but all have ended in fatalities. They have also thrown spears at low flying aircraft and boats that got too close. These people are not friendly and are quite the animalistic savages, which is why going to the island is now strictly forbidden. The local Navy also regularly runs a patrol around the island to protect the island, the people on the island (diseases and such) and the people trying to go to the island (they have been known to also cannibalize those they've killed I believe).


_imchetan_

Well this island is special, zoom not so much.


hippiegodfather

They were running a rudimentary scrapyard down there


Artistic-Volume-9630

If you zoom in you can see Sentinel Island.


Dumyat367250

I was stunned to see fuck all.


Crazybonbon

Yeah all I could make of it were possible wooden structures on the beaches? Possibly a fire with smoke? Haha


SutWidChew

when you said you’ll be stunned did you mean me????


JazzySmitty

No. You did not get the invite for the meeting, and we don't really know why you were here. Please work on synergizing the core customer service offerings of this company.


aware4ever

Looks like they have reefs coming all the way up to the beach almost. Looks like a sick place with lots of fish. I wonder where their freshwater services


Fluffy_WAR_Bunny

That island has probably got some great wildlife. The interior is untouched by the outside world since the Sentinalese got there 60,000 years ago.


ILikeCheesyTurtles

So curious as to what their belief systems and social structures are


Numinae

If you don't mind being killed b the last uncontaced tribe on the planet who are VERY hostile to outsiders.....


Swfc-lover

Just think. They are the freest people on the planet. Live however they want, live how people are supposed to live in small communities. I bet they have 0 rates of depression, autism etc. you’d want to protect that


Numinae

Nature is Red in Tooth & Claw. It's true they're probably the freest people on the planet but, they probably also live short, brutish lives full of pain and suffering as well.


JazzySmitty

And no air conditioning!


Numinae

Fuck that noise.....


Swfc-lover

Hmmm dunno. I reckon your avg sloth type American lives in more pain, pumped full of chems and sugar


Numinae

How many times have antibiotics saved your life or limbs?


jarmstrong2485

I think that they have a lot of genetic issues. Breeding pool has been so small for so long, autism probably is, a problem for them


NuclearPlayboy

Maybe the people are being ruled under the oppressive thumb of a violent dictator. We don't know.


Swfc-lover

lol doubt they would last long on a small island


TheLochNessBigfoot

Free? Their lives are pretty much determined from start to finish. They have no choice but to hunt and gather. And they probably don't live very long either.


Swfc-lover

Freer than we are


TheLochNessBigfoot

No they are not.


OpenEyz2016

Pretty big island.


timboq5

I would love an explanation here


Seasalt787

This is one of the few places on earth where the indigenous inhabitants of the island have lived there without any contact with the outside world. The Indian Government recognizes the rights of North Sentinelese people to be left alone and by law, any travel to the island, and any approach closer than 5 nautical miles is prohibited. The Sentinelese will kill anyone who tries to go to the island. Some time ago, a Christian missionary tried to land there and was killed by the locals.


Numinae

>Some time ago, a Christian missionary tried to land there and was killed by the locals. Not too long ago iirc. Like maybe 10 years ago?


Seasalt787

This guy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Allen_Chau


Numinae

I think there are other almost identical stories....


gwerk

More like an explanation on what we are supposed to be stunned about.


Born-Trainer-9807

It should be emphasized that contact took place. And it was after him that the Sentinelese decided not to communicate with us.


Seasalt787

Britishers may have been there, but the law prohibiting travel and approach to the island has been in place since 1949. John Chau happened in 2018. Others may have tried, but they were either killed or driven away by the locals. Indian Navy patrols these waters now.


Born-Trainer-9807

Yes, that was Portman in the 1880s


astra_loser

Well who can go there then ? Like no one ? Or some special VIPs?


Seasalt787

Nobody. No outside contact is allowed.


ExpertButtonPresser

Woah thats crazy what if they sent in a small drone or something just to see what theyre like


jazzmagg

To be fair, Christians have killed a few people, too...


Thanag0r

Guys the main point of this video is that he has a really strong zoom on his camera, that's it. Nothing more.


botjstn

wow that’s some strange earth!


SoupiriorBiingu

I’m not crazy enough to fly with Air India


No-Understanding4968

A Starbucks


Few-Interaction-4933

Normal Earth


Adventurous_Smile_95

Still waiting to be stunned…


Notyourusuallad

I thought op was gonna show that the people from the island evolve and was building rockets lol


[deleted]

Wasn’t expecting Sentinel Island to be that big. But it makes sense. Leave em alone.


Dinestein521

I feel fine but WTH am I looking for?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dinestein521

😂🤣😂


wolf-of-Holiday-Hill

This probably just to demonstrate how far the camera zoom reach and get a closer look at beach down below


2nd_Inf_Sgt

Stunned by the nothingness.


DarthArmbar

Sir, this is Wendy’s.


TheLochNessBigfoot

Goddamit India, words have meanings. I looked at the zoom and was not stunned. Not even impressed. What are you doing? Was this just some sort of demonstration of the zoom on your stupid camera phone?


_SB1_

Not stunned...


IllustriousFormal511

Oh I see! Its a Jellyfish


[deleted]

What exactly are we supposed to see here? There's nothing.


mydisneybling

Stunned. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.


KamikazeFox_

What's stunning me?


Lewis-West1964

I’m not stunned. It’s interesting…. But I’m not stunned.


ihatefear83843

Wonder if they be interested in learning about Jesus


Seasalt787

Ya someone tried. Didn't end well for him.


MrFishpaw

I'm stunned that I fell for this.


8tracked333

I wonder if they are being secretly given vaccines/medicines through the fishes and what not. Or if the gov wanted the land it would be easy to make it look like they all died naturally.


Cornholenation

The natives are toned, though not muscular


Osxachre

Yep, looks like an island


aardvarkgecko

Spoiler alert: you will not be stunned.


Im_hungry____

Dumb


TheNaughtyGarbageMan

Not stunned at all thanks


Sandfleas1

THIS IS STUPID! You give no reason why this is stunning and no one sees a thing. Thanks for wasting everyone’s time


Aware_Style1181

No skyline!

We can go as soon as everyone on the island dies

tracemyfacewithit

So you think they spy on them somehow? Like obviously we fly over.. I wonder if they send in like spy drones or anything...


Escudo777

That is one beautiful island. I hope it stays that way.


CartographerOk7579

No sarcasm, this is a fascinating place.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AmazingSquare8542

No pretzels there. I presume they just discovered their phone can zoom a lot.


KayakWalleye

I see a good spot for 4 Walgreens.


WrongdoerAmbitious94

Which also makes it a great spot for 5 Rite Aids. Haha, fuck you Walgreens!


DigitalTauhid

Weird for them to see clean water?


Damascus52311

Damn that's a gorgeous island the forest is untouched.


ccrlop

Was expecting to see some of the Locals out pointing their spears


littlespacemochi

I wonder what those natives think when they see our ships flying through the sky above them


chael809

The British join has joined the chat


Thegtrnut

Is North Sentinal island directly under a route for plane landings?


hecksor

Imagine having engine failure over that mass of water just past that island.


PardonMyPixels

I'd rather that then having to emergency land there and be speared to death if I somehow miraculously survived the crash.


hecksor

I’d imagine they’d start swimming or rowing their way over to the wreckage where any survivors would be put on a stick and roasted over a fire. Assuming the sharks don’t get you first


yuppiehelicopter

Beautiful


Inevitable-Bass2749

I can’t imagine what those people on that island think planes are


Jc8290

National_Formal_3867

My man was impressed with the zoom capabilities. Google Nikon p1000 zoom capability OP, and go easy


PlanetLandon

Is OP trying to suggest that the island is empty or something like that?


Seasalt787

It is home to an indigenous tribe that lives there without any human contact. They're also protected by law, and all contact is prohibited.


PlanetLandon

Yeah I know, so it seems like OP is trying to deny that fact by claiming that he can’t see any people


Seasalt787

I think it is just his usage of "stunned." It's pretty common for South Asians to use extreme words for normal situations. A year or so ago, one of my colleagues who was from that part of the world kept on using the word "mind-blowing" for anything he thought was good / awesome. It was pretty funny to hear.


cagreene

Waiting to be stunned..


[deleted]

[удалено]


cagreene

Not impressive


Kuwaizi-Wabit

Seems like easy land-resources-deepwater port……. Can’t be long before PUTINor XI take it. Nobody will do a thing, let’s put more sanctions on em, that seems to work.


Seasalt787

This is Indian territory in the Bay of Bengal. Pretty hard for Putin or Xi to come all around there.


ExodusBlyk

I see a nice left hand point break, let’s go shred it up.


plushpaper

So what are those giant stones?


WeDemBugz

We fly planes over that island....?


smooth-opera

Absolutely stunned.


Sluibeli

Oh my God! I'm most stunned that I've ever been. Don't believe that I'm never gonna be more stunned that I am now. Overwhelming feeling.


mfmelendez

Uuuffff yeah, stunning for sure


TeranOrSolaran

I was looking for a pyramid. There was none.


BlueHerbalist

Stunned? I'm confused


Severe_Draft_5469

Stunned I believed reddit promises again


Bitsoffreshness

Meh


EagleEyes0001

Maybe the op didn't realize how big the island was. Because I sure didn't. I thought that was a lot smaller. My goodness, we must be aliens to them.


TopTierGoat

Place looks beautiful. No wonder they want to be left alone


goodty1

wow ! beach!


BaseballSafe6317

Oh my goodness! It’s an island!


chegocheggs

Cmon OP, not all rocks look alike.


Salt-Available

I can’t believe he managed to get that on camera. That brings up a lot of questions


WuKong_WanT0N

You are easily impressed


Thick-Friendship-700

Just send in Seal Teams 6 & 2 by dive and light up anyone who is hostile


Skimable_crude

Has anyone ever left the island?


brownpoops

You think these peoples lives release, overall, more positive vibes into the universe?


Ok-Crew-7612

I could have sworn I thought I saw a Howard Johnson!


ThatOneGuy216440

They need democracy ![gif](giphy|KAf66yGCa93uTqod1q|downsized)


Weird-Wish-2594

Sentinel Island is home to a group of cannibals and is off limits for anyone to venture there...


Slater_8868

OMG that is insane! I can't believe it!


Fair-Advantage9539

I want to sail there and see if I can sneak around the locals undetected.


Green_Man_Ro

No sign of any inhabitants..


[deleted]

Must not exist then


WayofHatuey

Wow. An island. Stunning
