Those "amerindians" are the Pemón tribe They had lived for centuries in these areas. And you need them not only because the know everything about the terrain but because you are NOT allowed into the Canaima Park unless you have a Pemón guide, it's the government's regulation and the tribe's regulations in an effort to preserve the Tepuyes. As they live there they control what happens in the park I've been in the Roraima Tepuy and in the Auyantepuy for a few weeks at the time. The pemones are amazingly skilled people and very kind people.
Can't expect an ignorant foreigner to even bother looking up information on the people owning the land they are visiting and are the only ones that can take them and bring them back. Discovery is the worst evil.
And they have names too! I was watching focus about Everest and they always said Sherpas saved this or that but they don’t say the names. They need to stop believing they are better than actually the owners of the mountains. Without them there is not expedition or this video. I hope they now how stupid they look saying this guy instead his name. I’m pretty sure their ancestors discovered all that species before they believed they did. God have mercy!!
Alpha581 No, The Roraima is shared between Brazil and Guyana (that's is legally still part of Venezuela btw) The Angel's fall is in another Tepuy (Auyantepuy) That's is completely inside Venezuelan Territory
Just climbed Roraima two weeks ago. The sheer mind blowing experience on top of the Tepui sandwiched between the awful situation of the people exiting Venezuela at the border between Venezuela and Brazil. Nearly 1.5 million Venezuelans have fled the country since 2014 mostly into Colombia and Brazil but more recently into Guyana. Half the population of Venezuela are starving....what my group observed was the tip of an iceberg of a massive largely unreported humanitarian crisis.
This Guyanese territory I don't know why Americans keep saying this is Venezuelian mt its not its located in Guyana the country of the Jim Jones saga stop giving the world wrong information
@@ashantimatthias110 are you serious? Did you pass geography in school? dude, did you not hear the guy this was entirely in Venezuela? 85% of this beautiful place is in Venezuela, where all the filming took place.
That Nat Geo issue, that article! I made it up Roraima in 1998, a couple weeks after a total solar eclipse that skimmed northern Venezuela. The summit of Roraima is as amazing as any video - and accessible by foot. And my trip there was inspired by that one article. Thanks Nat Geo, for having inspired many of my amazing trips around the world!
For those that say Evolution is a theory, and its NOT, this proves the intricacies of evolution in action over thousands of years between a species based on adaptability and producing in different environments and populations.
The "Amerindian" people he speaks of are the Pemón people. They have a name, history, and culture that is uniquely their own. To mislabel your guide who made this success possible is incredibly rude. The Pemón people are stewards of that land, and have been since time immemorial. It is clear whose territory you are on when you enter the park, so the presenter has no excuse for misnaming his guides.
Ever since I learned of the tepuis rock islands as a kid over 50 years ago I have always wanted to visit one and discover something no one had ever seen before. Or find gold and jem stones. But that is what makes them so special .I imagine there is none that has not been explored by now. Pretty amazing a piece of the planet as it was millions of years ago ,that's different then frozen in time like fossils .this is alive.
The one thing or is it a virtue, . . . . that mankind has been endowed with is the will to never stop exploring and or learning about everything that can be explored or learned. If there was a way to explore the outside of our universe someone would do it.
@Dan Torrino They probably did but it will take years to document the plants and animals of the area and how they are related to the species found at the top and bottom of the tepui. They have only scratched the surface.
This is probably a stupid comment, but wouldn't it have been much easier to descend onto that rock face from above rather than climb up from below? What were you expecting to find at the base of a rain forest cliff that has waterfalls shooting off of it everywhere? Of course it would be wet and decaying vegetation at a dangerously steep angle. You are very lucky to be alive yet. Rappeling from above you would be there in a second. Am I overlooking something?
Yes Paul Zahl of National Geographic and me dad GT Chislett made a climb to the top 84 years ago they took the easier way up in the book To the Lost World. They did find the giant ants they were looking for. Chiz
Incognito mount Roraima is located in Venezuelan 85% of it the other small portion is shared between Brazil and Guyana. They were exploring the Venezuelan section
So wait a minute... I can see rock climbing as a hobby, but as a biologist, pioneer, explorer and etc why are they not just using a helicopter? If the purpose is discovery isn't time invaluable? Just my thoughts...
Vernon Carpenterjr ...They. Are remnant biology of Titan Giants ...with Human D. NA...check out Roger Spurr and MUD FOSSIL University for a life changing event...
@@getredytagetredy many of mountains across the flat earth are indeed petrified giants of gen 6. There are also remnants of giant mile high trees, as the giant trunk in this video.
only wish Bruce didn't hafta ziploc them poor frogs to slice n. dice em.... specially not all four. poor lil dudes were having the best life down there. until humans came along and called everything theirs for the taking. 🙄
What you think of as mountains and rocks were mostly living things at a distant time point Either from trees/plants and animals, some of them ''giant'' The tree's were cut down that's why many have flat tops... The rivers etc. and precious metal veins that spread out from/through these ''mountains'' etc. are old root systems and parts of old trees.... From silica based trees, the ''wood'' petrifies and/or turns into precious metals etc. , Just like the ''petrified forrest'' of Arizona.. Devils tower is also the remains of a tree.. not ''lava flow'' , sigh.. Maybe check out a video called ''there are no forests on flat earth'' to begin your awakening to these simple truths that are purposefully being kept from people..
My parents were working with the Pemón for a while. Growing up, I heard them pronounce it "tep-WEE"; they said it quickly. That may be more accurate. Liking this guy's story so far.

I kinda wanted to know why he called them that way, bastante molesto.

It makes sense. The abandoned elevated subway tracks in New York City were found to be home to plant species not seen in New York for ages.
such as?
interested in learning as well
The stretch of elevated track is called the High Line and it's a park now. Just google it.
I think a forest isolated in such a remote area for 10s of millions of years, is a bit different to a NY abandoned subway line. Dont you?
This is one of the best videos on TH-cam. Thank you.
Venezuela is such a beautiful place.. it's paradise.. we even have the tallest waterfall in the world.. it's breath taking...
elji02 Remember that the mountain is shared between Brazil and Guyana too.
Alpha581 exactly, mount roraima
The tallest waterfal isn't in Roraima Tepui, is farther to the north
Alpha581 No, The Roraima is shared between Brazil and Guyana (that's is legally still part of Venezuela btw) The Angel's fall is in another Tepuy (Auyantepuy) That's is completely inside Venezuelan Territory
@@tauceti8060 yes, but all the filming is in the Venezuela territory.
Amazing. Cool that he could get down there and back out at the age of 71.

It's the local that do the hardest part and they get to tell the story of heroism. Vulture culture

Synnott is spectacular, a real adventurer and special person in the quest for scientific evidence. well done.
This sounds like an awesome adventure
Brilliant video. Loved the whole story telling and bit with Bruce in the sinkhole.
I enjoyed this presentation. Thank you
Awesome job
perfect narration !
Venezuela, my lovely homeland.
Very interesting stuff! Thanks guys!
Post more adventures like this
Greatest story ever...Amazing -!!!
Fascinating story!
The kind of adventure my soul craves. Lucky to hike in tropical forests almost every weekend
This was very enjoyable.
0.09 - WOW.
This is amazing!! makes me want to watch the documentary
Watch Steve Backshall climbing the Upuigma-tepui. Mind-blowing :-o
+Alpha Adhito wow thanks for the recommendation! will check it later
Looks exactly like the paradise in UP
it's because they are. here, look for the 22-minute video under "Making Of": www.pixar.com/features_films/UP
India is a shithole
For those that say Evolution is a theory, and its NOT, this proves the intricacies of evolution in action over thousands of years between a species based on adaptability and producing in different environments and populations.
Fascinating. I wish I could see this in person, but I'm nowhere near skilled enough of a climber to try that.
On other videos they say there is a helicopter and a plane that can be hired to take you up.
This is incredible 👏 hope to go there someday
I would love so much to go on one of those expeditions.
"Gotta cath em all" to the whole new level

wow great story!
The one thing or is it a virtue, . . . . that mankind has been endowed with is the will to never stop exploring and or learning about everything that can be explored or learned. If there was a way to explore the outside of our universe someone would do it.
i was hoping they might find an undiscovered underground paradise with dozens of unseen creatures
@Dan Torrino They probably did but it will take years to document the plants and animals of the area and how they are related to the species found at the top and bottom of the tepui. They have only scratched the surface.
I love this spirit !!!
The amazon is like another world.
this is such an inspiring video please, tell me more
Why did they walk through the jungle instead of just rappelling down from the top?
Kyle Law cuz it's more fun
I guess there's no trees at the top to anchor
Send him to norway where he can do "Kjerag", " Preikestolen", "lysefjorden", "møre og romsdal" if he only wants to climb
Thanks so much great story, insane skills
This feels like extreme Pokémon hunters
That is just kool 👍🏻✌🏻️
My god, the vegetation is all agave. It's like climbing through swords. The pictures on your slides are just full of them.
Does anyone feel like it ruins the magic and mystery of the place if it is studied by humans?
ItsYaBoy I think the magic lies in discovery
It only ruins it when other humans go there that dont respect the animals an then it would be ruined but not many people will find it lol
dang those photos with mile long drops make me dizzy and chirn my guts, even before I looked at the first picture
Wow. I'm hopelessly jealous.
Amazing
He talk about hes experience..more so about the species which is why im here for
They're not "amerindians". They're probably pemones. Either way, it's good that they acknowledged their participation in the expedition.
At one point, This all sounded like a D&D story to me.
This is Monte Roraima, and it is in frontier Roraima Brazil and Venezuela, not only Venezuela
nope its in guyana not brazil
Nicolas Oliveira pero la mayoría esta en vzla , i think 85% of the tepui
But 15% is something, and the Montain is acessibility from Brazil too. Is one information more to your books . Thank You!
Nicolas Oliveira Roraima is shared between Guyana, Brazil and Venezuela But the majority is in Venezuela.
Yes, now I agree
The slime could be a cure for cancer:)
When you said the 1 species was only separated by a few thousand years. That wouldn't be around 12000 years by any chance would it ?
Why?
This is probably a stupid comment, but wouldn't it have been much easier to descend onto that rock face from above rather than climb up from below?

thats actually mount roraima in guyana, south america
Incognito mount Roraima is located in Venezuelan 85% of it the other small portion is shared between Brazil and Guyana. They were exploring the Venezuelan section
Meanwhile im sitting here thinking... I wonder what kind of pokemon he could have found if he had pokemon Go...
Nothing because pokemon go doesn't have any pokemon spawn in that area. At least not yet
Is this the full video ?
This guy kind of looks like my 8th grade teacher.
12:01 *wheek wheek* somebody opened a fridge
By reading the title I thought it was a Pokemon GO related video
So wait a minute... I can see rock climbing as a hobby, but as a biologist, pioneer, explorer and etc why are they not just using a helicopter? If the purpose is discovery isn't time invaluable? Just my thoughts...
funds... just not enough funds.
It was once a giant tree that was cut down bye the giants.- The Book of Enoch.
Cool
These guy is funny😅😅😅
I'd be scared to climb back down
You think anyone ever went down to the middle part n got lost n just had to survive n live there
Those giant rocks are actually petrified tree stumps ,as giant trees were in anteduluvian times

Take your meds
嗯，说的好有道理
It was so hard to get up, how about going down?
And I thought Valley girl was extinct!
They are in the Guianan shield not the Amazon.
Es Venezuela 100% 🇻🇪
he kinda sound like wildcat
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha
Is that the rock on UP
yUP... here, look for the 22-minute video under "Making Of": www.pixar.com/features_films/UP
Any place which is not discover by National Geography?
only wish Bruce didn't hafta ziploc them poor frogs to slice n. dice em.... specially not all four. poor lil dudes were having the best life down there.

Poor frogs.
This is my beautiful country Guyana
Dude, did you hear the guy say VENEZUELA? Only 10% is in Guyana, 85% is in Venezuela where all the filming took place.
Guyana no tiene nada ahi. Esa parte es el esequibo venezolano. Insurpa algo que no les pertenecen
Es 100% Venezuela 🇻🇪
6:19, look at his feet, who the fuck stands like that?
08:25 it is moments like this, where you have a clear revelation of being part of a "modern society" that evolves as slugs...
Guys, writing This video actually looks cyte center
Mr Frederickson from UP.
i hope you guys paid edward very well!!
It is in up
wow
Edwards FTW XD
14 minutes and i find out theres a new frog? i wanna know about cool new giant dangerous species.
Im here to c the big rock not your story.
I think we have to explore our whole Earth first instead of going deeper into space... because there's much to explore yet.
There's no way they pronounce it "tehpouwheeze"
My parents were working with the Pemón for a while. Growing up, I heard them pronounce it "tep-WEE"; they said it quickly. That may be more accurate. Liking this guy's story so far.
So you managed to get all the way up there and only found a frog wow OMG😰
With helicopter
Oh boy, so what?
@Thomas Bacon You are not a biologist, are you?
