... Great postcard of one of the 4 Malaysian UNESCO sites... one of the earliest sites of world civilization which dates back more than 180 million years... the oldest record of a human outside Africa... one of Malaysia's most important archaeological locations... “the Perak Man”, the oldest and most complete human skeleton was found here, which had been dated back to around 11.000 years old ago... Lenggong is more an open-air museum, and is home to legends, skeletons, cave drawings and precious finds such as jewellery, pottery, weapons and stone tools... if you have an interest in anthropology, history and culture this is a must-visit place... but according to Bei Hao sadly or luckilyツ it is not a popular tourist spot... Thanks a lot Bei Hao!!【ツ】
