(a tale of immense irony and amazing discovery))
This is the story of three emminent Doctors of Paleo Anthropology -Stone Age Archaeology and Genetics - World renowned Explore sent by The Israeli Center of Indiginous discovery - To contact the last undiscovered Indiginous Tribe.
We do not know what these people call themselves, but their neighbours, the Gaviã Cannibals, call them the Piripkura, or the ‘butterfly people’, describing the way that they constantly move through the forests. They are said to speak an ancient and arcane semitic language.
Approximately 100 stone age Indians who live uncontacted in the deep unforbidden forest of The Amazon Basin -They are nomadic, and they hunt, forage, and conduct limited agriculture. They are the last uncontacted peoples south of the Amazon basin (they are known to speak an ancient idiomatic form of Hebraic Gnostic Yiddish - And there has been speculation among Hebrew Talmudic Scholars; that they may be one of the Lost Tribes of Israel.)
ALL prior attempts to contact them have been futile!
The Israeli Doctors who have spent their careers preparing for this dangerous mission are:
Leo Schmendrick - Paleo Anthropologist
Ernst Putzel -Stone Age Archaeologist
Moishe Pipick - Biologist and Explorer
They embarked on January fifth 2020 and two years later on July fifth - Dr’s Scmendrick and Putzel were discovered, barely alive, floating unconscious, down a remote tributary of The Amazon Basin, by a group of Pygmies out hunting -Who brought them downriver to an Evangelist Mission.
This is the synoptic story of their survival AND the ironic iconic sacrifice of their lost colleague - Doctor Moishe Pipick.
"Death OR Bungie"
Dr.Schmendrick - “ We were captured after being lost for months in the deepest jungle anyone of us had ever traversed -Tied upside down to poles and carried for days to their village.”
Dr. Putzel - “ We were thrown into cages - Barely alive as the tribe of roughly 100 men women and children danced around in great excitement!”
DR. Putzel continued ”The next day we were given food and water while containers were being filled up and water boiled over huge fires in front of a large structure which we assumed was the Chief’s home -In preparation for a village feast of which we were certain to be on the menu.”
Dr. Schmendrick -”After four hours the village -Which was in a great state of merriment since our arrival; SUDDENLY became silent -Kneeling down before the giant apparition -Covered in animal skins and feathers AND carrying a giant ax -Who stepped out from his home AND all the people chanted a name that we could identify as an arcane dialect of ancient Hebrew.
“GAVALT” -”Mighty Warrior”
Dr. Putzel - “We were dragged to kneel at his feet and could make out enough of his vocabulary to ascertain that he was announcing a great feast “AND as we were being carried to the great vessels of boiling water Dr. Schmendrick cried out in his best ancient Hebrew - “Spare us oh great mighty Gavalt!” = AND suddenly there was a great silence! AND the warriors were commanded to put us back in our cages”
Dr. Schmendrick -” It was obvious that The Chief was taken by Dr. Pipick’s somewhat understanding of his language! AND just maybe this had saved us?”
Dr. Putzel - “They bathed fed and clothed us and for three days the village was subdued as elders came and went from inside of The Chief’s residence - Obviously in deep deliberations of our fates. -AND on the fourth day at sunrise we were brought to kneel before “Gavalt” who was surrounded by his advisors in their best tribal splendor WITH the entire tribe in attendance in a state of solemn reverence - THEN Gavalt spoke! And from what we could understand -the gist of it was - That we would not be boiled and eaten because of the great mystery surrounding our knowledge of their language (which might anger their ancient gods) BUT in obeiscence to the will of the elders and the tribe - We would have to earn our freedom through and Ancient Tribal Ritual known as “ Death or Bungie”
Gavalt said - “We have escaped the slaughter of the White Devils for thousands of years by our strict rituals of resistance to their incursions and normally all those who enter our domain become feast treats for our families BUT because you three might possibly have some connection to our Ancient Yays we are providing you with a means of survival which would also serve as a lesson for others who might follow in your footsteps.”
Dr.Schmendrick -“ Then Dr. Pipick asked if Gavalt -The Mighty Warrior might explain the ritual of “Death or Bungie” to which he replied.”
Gavalt then explained -”One by one each of you will be stripped naked -Tied to a stake with your buttocks lifted up for full exposure by ropes - Then - individually you will be given a choice of being sodomized by all male members of the tribe! OR Death!”
He went on -” Those who choose this “Bungie Ritual” will be set free and sent back down the river BUT those who choose death will be killed and eaten!”
Dr. Putzel - “We deliberated these options which would be exercized at dawn AND as horrifying as ‘Bungie” was to myself and Dr. Schmendrick we chose to try and survive this most vile and primitive torture ritual and return to our famillies and colleagues - Dr Pipick decided he could never submit to these heathens in such a manner and said he would choose a swift and honorable death.”
He went on -” I cannot tell you the horror and revulsion we experienced when after our “Bungie” ordeal we witnessed Dr. Pipick announce to Gavalt with pride and honor that “I Choose Death” = and that the entire tribe went into spasms of wild celebration -Dancing and singing - An outpouring of excitement and joyous behavior as “Gavalt” picked up an enormous animal horn and blew out his announcement to the tribe -With drums pounding”
“Death -By Bungie!”
“AND as we witnessed the incessant violent anal ravaging of the deluded and heroic Dr. Pipick - The mass exuberance of even the tribe’s women and children with sticks and even stones -Indulging in this (beyond any human comprehension) of mass sodomy
We could not fathom what may be this greatest example of IRONY -Beyond even The Bard - Executed by these Stone Age Barbarians!:
AND as we were put in the canoes AND as they finally put Dr. Pipick in a boiling pot of water AND as the tribe celebrated their great sodomic pleasures AND in anticipation of a delicious feast - The Great Mighty Warrior Gavalt said to us ……………..”
