In promotion of the national tourism campaign, the Visit Malaysia 2014 and Celebrating 1Malaysia Truly Asia, together with other 40 ASEAN participants on October 28 - 31, 2013 we drove from Kuala Lumpur all the way up to Perak to discover the stunning beauty and further spread its historical significance to the world.
Among other known Palaeolithic skeletons found in Southeast
Asia, the Perak Man remains the oldest most complete Palaeolithic skeleton discovered
from a prehistoric burial cave; truly beckon the highest discovery in the region
and in the world.
Archaeological Heritage of
the Lenggong Valley (AHLV), a UNESCO World Heritage Site which is located at
Perak, Malaysia is the site where this greatest discovery uncovered. It is one
of the longest culture sequences in a single locality in the world. The
undistributed archaeological sites AHLV are exceptional because they preserve
in-situ an outstanding record of the evolution of human cognitive complexity in
the form of a rational and systematic mind evidenced by the development of
lithic tradition and stone tool technology.
The AHLV is also one of a kind for it is sheltering an extraordinary
range of nearly 2 million years and comprising all the stages of prehistory –
Palaeolithic, Neolithic and Metal Periods.
The phenomenal findings from
the Lenggong Valley is the almost complete Palaeolithic Skeleton called, Perak
Man. Perak Man (10,000 BP) was found in Gua Gunung Runtuh cave site. The artifact also plays an exceptionally
significant role in providing previously unknown knowledge on Palaeolithic burial
rituals and belief systems and understanding Southeast Asean prehistory.
