According to legend, a mysterious teacher who supposedly descended from outer space to the wild tribes of Amazonian Kayapo Indians lost in an impenetrable rainforest
space warrior worshipped by tribes on the upper reaches of the Xing River. Bep-Kororoti had a flying vehicle that could destroy anything in its path.
The primitive natives were terrified of him until he stepped out of his “robes” and revealed himself to be fair-skinned, handsome, and kind.
He delighted the locals with his “magic” until he missed his home in the sky and never returned there.
The Kayapo tribe in Brazil worships a being called Bep-Kororoti- an “astronaut-like” deity who today is symbolized by a straw man.
