Shocking Incidents Happened on the North Sentinel Island More than 100 survivors temporary stayed there but were attacked by Andamanese a few days later. It came into limelight when the ship called Nineveh was wrecked on the beach. The island was almost forgotten until 1867. They are very cruel, and kill and eat every foreigner whom they can lay their hands upon.” In the late 13th century, Marco Polo described the Andaman people as – “a most brutish and savage race, having heads, eyes and teeth like those of dogs. Even anthropologists and authorities do not enter their area to study their culture and lifestyle. They reject any communication with the outside world and only want to protect their land when anyone comes close or tries to contact them. However, when one party reached the shore, the North Sentinel Island tribes vanished and hid into the jungle. No gifts and peaceful offerings to the tribe were answered by the Sentinelese, and the Indian government was welcomed with a hail of arrows. Earlier, there have been made serious attempts to contact the Sentinel tribe, but unfortunately, all efforts failed.
The island is all covered with rough seas and jagged reefs. The size of the island can be compared with the size of Manhattan. The North Sentinel island tribe lives at the tip of Andaman Island between India and Malaysia to the east. According to a study, around 400 Sentinels have been living in this isolated island for over 50,000 years. North Sentinel is home to Sentinelese, a group of people who don’t have any contact with the outside world. While most of you have heard about the islands like Maldives, Palawan, Seychelles, Dalmatian Island and Ko Phi Phi known for their beauty and excellent sandy beaches, there is a North Sentinel Island which is left untouched by modern civilization. In the 21st century when the technology is developing at a fast rate, it is hard to believe that there is an island in the Bay of Bengal where people live in an old stone age (better known as the Paleolithic period) and are completely unaware of the outside world.
