Malaysia has abundance of places of interest to visit. We have the one of the oldest rainforest in Belum Forest, the tallest mountain in SouthEastAsia, World heritage site in Penang and Malacca, and also an important archaelogy site such as Gua Niah (Niah Cave) in Sarawak, Lembah Bujang (Bujang Valley) in Kedah and also Lembah Lenggong (Lenggong Valley) in Perak.
A few days back Centre for Archaelogical Research Malaysia made an announcement that there was evidence that humans existed dated back to 1.83 million years back in Bukit Bunuh, Lenggong. Wow!! Can't believe that we actually had humans living from 1.83 million years ago. It's just a pity that this news wasn't covered much in our mass media. It's a big deal as this showed that Malaysia is one of the few places in the world that has evidence of early humans.
Look Ma! I'm digging with my bare hands..LOL
Actually Lenggong is located not far away from Baling, Kedah where i am now which is about 100km. And i have passed through most of the times when i want to go to Kuala Lumpur. I had wanted to visit the archaeological site in couple of occasions but i never had the chance to.
In Lenggong they have the Lenggong Archaeological Museum. It houses the famous "Perak Man". They also has the archaeological site where they dig stuff up...ermmmm... very old stuff. I wonder if they are going to find any Dinosaurs Bones?
I should take some time off to go and visit the place. It is interesting to know new stuff and new knowledge. Anyone want to join?
