On Sunday, my parents, my best
fruend Novi, and I visited a cave at Maros called Leang-leang . It was my first
time to visit the cave, better yet, my best friend came to visit it with me!The
cave was famous for its primitive cave wall paintings which were some hand
prints and wild boar paintings. The cave and its surroundings were turned into
a national park, so it was taken care of. My parents took a rest in a small hut
for visitors of the park, while Novi and I adventured around the cave with a
guide. We had to climb some metal stairs to get to the cave, because the cave
was embedded into a small mountain.
Next stop was a place where some seashells
littered the ground and some were actually piled into a big mound! The guide
said that these piles of seashells are called kjokkenmoddinger, or kitchen
trash. The humans who lived here ate the
shells and dumped the left overs in their kitchen. The last place was a small
museum where they have skeletons of the humans who lived in the caves. The
skeletons along with some roughly made jewelry and weapons were placed inside
glass cases for display. The walls of the museum were adorned with photographs
taken when they did an excavation there. After a
quick lunch with Novi and my parents, we decided it was time to go back home.
We really had the time of our lives!
