My Adventure at Leang-Leang Cave
On
Sunday, my parents, my best friend 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 was 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 over 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!
