42: TRUE LIES | The Modern Myth of the Tasaday Tribe

What happens when sinister forces try their hand at modern mythmaking? In this episode, we learn about the Tasaday tribe – the stone-age tribe that was “discovered” in the 70s that put the Philippines on the map as one of the last undiscovered ancient societies.

Learn about what journalists, anthropologists, and gossip mongerers of the day discovered, inferred, and saw with their own eyes to reveal more than what was originally thought. Were they really the cave men they claimed to be? Or was something more sneaky in the mix?

We get super philosophical and hypothesize to the high heavens in this one. Let us know what you think – were the Tasadays a hoax all along or a complicated truth?

Correction: Sabah was “owned” by the North Borneo Chartered Company
