That is awesome. Civilization anyone? Phalanx vs Tank.
On the original topic, that is quite amazing to think a culture like that lasting for 65,000 years. I mean, think of the ancient Egyptians. We think of them being a great civilization from long long ago. Yet they were around when, 4000BC - 0AD or so. So that's a max of 6,000 years ago. And this tribe is 65,000 years old! That's incredible.

This stuff is crazy.
Did you see this one about tribes in the rain forest that have never had any contact with modern people.
