In the caption, the vlogger writes, "Meet Aliah, the 62-year-old caveman of Yemen. He lives on the rocky shores of Socotra, surviving off the sea with nothing but what nature gives him. He speaks broken English, taught by years of curious visitors because really, who wouldn't want to meet a caveman in 2025? He sleeps in a cave, fishes by hand, and walks barefoot over jagged rock like it's sand. His days are measured by the tides and not time. No phone. No electricity. Just the rhythm of wind and water. And still, he smiles like he knows something the rest of us forgot."Aliah only wears a loincloth and handpicked seashell for accessories. He speaks openly about his life in the video. The man claims to have 15 children, nine of whom are dead.

In China, Mexico, Jordan, Tunisia, Turkiye etc."Whether he's called a caveman or not, Aliah's way of living surely made many people pause and think.
