North Sentinel is located in the Bay of Bengal, not far from the shores of India and Thailand, and its turquoise sea and sandy beaches seem to invite you to enjoy. But this mysterious island is forbidden to visit tourists for a very important reason.
Namely, this island cannot be explored because it is home to one of the most dangerous tribes in the world who are ready to kill anyone who approaches them.
The isolated tribe, consisting of 500 locals, is one of the oldest tribes of the Stone Age on the planet and inhabits the island for about 60,000 years and is ready to kill anyone who enters their territory, which is why they are forbidden to approach to.
However, some adventurers have left their curiosity to prevail over them and several have gone through the exclusion area over the years, which has led to fatal consequences.
Several fishermen approach the island too much in 2006.
According to the announcements, they were trapped and slaughtered, and members of the tribe also attacked humanitarian workers who tried to help them after Tsunami in 2004.
The last person who was traveling to the island illegally was 26-year-old American evangelist John Allen Chow, who was sent to the island in 2018 by Missouri missionaries with a plan to live with the tribe and preach Christianity.
John paid a local fisherman to take him to the island and the fisherman left him about 700 meters from the island. According to the description of the fisherman, the members of the tribe killed John Allen Chow with arrows and buried his body on the shore of the island. Despite the efforts of the Indian authorities, John’s body was not discovered, and seven people were arrested, including the fisherman who helped him get to the island.
By the way, the tribe has not yet found the fire and with handmade metal weapons have attacked anyone who approaches them, but in the meantime a friendly contact with the tribe that still wants to be isolated and the Indian authorities have accepted their desire And any attempt to get closer to the island or to contact the locals are treated as a crime.
