Ancient Megalithic Site of Central Sulawesi - Besoa Valley Palu
Вставка

- In this episode I travel to the ancient Pokekea megalithic site in Central Sulawesi. Besoa/Behoa valley is home to many stone statues and giant stone jars with lids known as Kalamba's.
Some of these megaliths are 4500 years old and human habitation and rice cultivation is dated as being 8000 years.
This place near Palu and Poso regency is reached by travelling from Napu valley or it can also be reached by walking through the jungle from Bada valley near tentena.
It is a very remote place in Indonesia and very mysterious ancient culture lived here that we know very little about.
They are hoping to get UNESCO world heritage status one day and I hope they will.
It is a very similar site to the plain of jars in Laos 🇱🇦
Join me on my adventure on my Honda CB500x where I travel through the amazing island of Sulawesi.

Pada episode kali ini saya akan berwisata ke situs megalitikum Pokekea kuno di Sulawesi Tengah. Lembah Besoa/Behoa adalah rumah bagi banyak patung batu dan guci batu raksasa bertutup yang dikenal dengan nama Kalamba.
Beberapa dari megalit ini berusia 4.500 tahun dan tempat tinggal manusia serta penanaman padi berusia 8.000 tahun.
Tempat yang cukup dekat Kabupaten Palu dan Poso ini dicapai dengan perjalanan dari Lembah Napu atau bisa juga dengan berjalan kaki melewati hutan dari Lembah Bada dekat Tentena.
Ini adalah tempat yang sangat terpencil di Indonesia dan budaya kuno yang sangat misterius tinggal di sini dimana hanya sedikit yang kita ketahui.
Mereka berharap untuk mendapatkan status warisan dunia UNESCO suatu hari nanti dan saya berharap mereka akan mendapatkannya.
Bergabunglah dalam petualangan saya dengan Honda CB500x, di mana saya melakukan perjalanan melalui Pulau Sulawesi yang menakjubkan.

Thank you Sam for this channel. You are by far my favorite travel Indonesia vlogger. I want to offer you encouragement to keep doing your good work. I almost wrote (I rarely leave comments) when you did justice to Bunaken and paid tribute to Wallace, but at this point I've got to write this.
Your videos have interesting angles, are nicely edited with dramatic background music and thoughtful commentary. They are entertaining and educational with lots of National Geographic feel. I have no doubt that people will discover you, the content creator, just as they discover Indonesia through you.
Thank you very much for this comment and I am glad you have noticed these things. Keep watching for some very interesting things to share e
I really agree with Michael Pontoh your videos are interesting. Keep the good work.
Orang Palu bilangnya “Ngeri” it means “Scarry” or How local react to something unbelievable and enchanted just like you said FASCINATING. UNESCO should see this!
Ini kaya semua orang gunung bisa melihat ritual di lembah, tapi apakah kamu ritual apa disana?
Without Pak Sunardi we never knew there is something more in deeper of the jungle.
Bada valley, Besoa Valley, buffalo cave painting, Sulawesi indeed a paradise for archeologist.
Thanks Sam to virtually taking me to this beautiful mysterious place.
Yes, you are right. So many ancient and mysterious places in Sulawesi.
As Indonesian i have never thought Indonesia especially Sulawesi has something like this 😍
I hope the government will immediately protect and closely monitor this historical heritage
Your repeating several time about UNESCO.
Glad you brought this out.. I totally agree this place should be in UNESCO list of amazing place. And should be preserve forever. It's really a lost Civilization and we can learned from it.
I believe that people who live here are ancestors to all the tribes and culture who currently scattered in every corner of Sulawesi. For Example, Like Minahasa people who burried their dead in a Stone with the Lid like an old Kalamba, or Mongondow People Who live in jungle and Burried their dead in a Stone Chamber Like Torajan People and Many other Similarities i didn't know.
I always wonder what happened in the past, is it a natural Disasters, Earthquake or Unknown Tragedy happened to them? What make them leave their home and never comeback to build City in this place?.
Maybe it will remain a Big Mysteries. that Nobody will know exactly what happened. we only can Guess with every possible explanation and theories we can think off.
Amazing Video and Inspiring travel Sam..i hope Someday i will experience this place by myself.
I wish you a good success and hopefully we can watch your new video on the weekly basis..
Yes the caretaker Pak sundardi said that dna of ancient bones found is matching with the Toraja, mamasa, Kajang, kali, Minahasa people. And probably all those people are dececndays of the Polynesian who came from Taiwan, perhaps the same people who eventually ended up in easter island. There is a lot more we have to learn about the past in Sulawesi. And the evidence is right there buried in the ground I’m sure. I read that natural disaster was drought that collapsed the population.
@@IndoWild polynesian is a branch of austronesian that lives exclusively in the eastern pacific. austronesian is the one who migrated from taiwan to the archipelagos.
indeed
Great video ❤Just wondering,,,Multiple civilization hàve lived around this area,, come and go,, dead by earthquake,, Natural disaster, disease,, political circums etc...who knows
Wow, I think this place should be included in the UNESCO world heritage sites. You're very fortunate to be able to found this hiiden place👍👍👍.
You are right! I hope one day there is a proper national funded archeological dig done on this place. And UNESCO status is given.
Their hands are clasped in Kundalini, just like the statues in Rapa Nui and Gobeklitepe. Thank you so much for show us these beautiful marvels.
Sam, I don’t want to sound like a broken record, so while like others I do appreciate the quality of your videography, narration, research etc I just want to specifically mention how I appreciate that unlike many foreign content creators you specify which province you’re in. Oftentimes, foreigners would say “Oh, I’ve been to Sumatra” without understanding that even neighbors like the Bataks of North Sumatra (patriarchal, mostly Christian, fun-loving) and the Minangkabau of West Sumatra (matrilineal, pious Muslim, enterprising) can be very different from each other.
Even Central Sulawesi alone is a lot bigger than countries like Croatia, Bosnia and Herezegovina, Denmark, Netherlands or Switzerland, so there’s so much to discover in each and every province in Indonesia.
Cheers and thank you for bringing Indonesia to the world! 🍻
Thank you very much for this comment. It means a lot to me that you notice this in my videos.
@@IndoWild thank YOU for appreciating these details that often go unnoticed by foreigners. It shows your level understanding of our country. Thank you again for showing us Indonesia through your POV 🍻
huge fan of your channel, we went here a few years ago and you are correct the place need more research and protection, we saw a megalith along a stream that people just stepped on not knowing their significance. Indonesia is such a vast fascinating country
Thank you for visiting my province.. thousands megaliths place Central Sulawesi.. The ancient place for over 4000yrs old.. Me and American husband will visit Napu and Behoa Valley on dry season this year.. thank you for sharing this wonderful trip.. Salaam from Luwuk Banggai🫶🏼
Terima kasih, Sam for virtually taking me to this fascinating, mystical Central Sulawesi TWICE!!! ❤❤
Regards from Malaysia 😎
Warmest greeting from the land of thousand megaliths Central Sulawesi
Glad you enjoyed it! Central Sulawesi is the mystical place for sure
@@IndoWild It reminded me the vibes of visiting Stonehenge years ago during my university days at Bristol University.
Kapan ke sumatera selatan, palembang, makan pempek sini✌️🤣
Woww, this is my first time seeing foreigners doing vlog in central sulawesi, as palunesse, it's quite nostalgic, my late father was a history teacher in there in 99's. Central sulawesi or particulary sulawesi have MANY undiscovered ancient civilization, but's hard to doing the excavation bcz the limited resources. I hope one day, when the goverment have enough the resource, i hope behoa and napu can become one of the national treasure places in indonesia, just like in bali and java ancient civilization...
Benar kata Sam, dari atas gambar drone terrlihat seperti ada struktur bangunan yang terkubur, harusnya tempat ini diteliti lebih lanjut, luar biasa 👍👍
Yes there are many places like that actually.
Pemerintah lebih sibuk dengan candi di Jawa.... you know lah
peran aktif semua pihak. pemerintahan lokal di jawa (provinsi, kota dll) sangat aktif tiap kali ada penemuan situs purbakala. bahkan seolah mereka suka membesar²kan masa lalu kalau orang jawa hebat berkat temuan situs purbakala. kalau di luar jawa aku kurang paham @@manawa-2872
What caught attention is the fertility of the land and the plants, beautiful.
Iam Indonesian but I didnt know that places till I saw your vid Man. Fantastic !!
Thank youuuu
Mantap ya sejarah Indonesia
Woow i live in Sulawesi tengah but never see that very interesting... I'm from ToliToli Sulawesi Tengah
I was there 3 years ago and still one of my best place in Sulawesi! Thanks Sam, as usual you video really stunning!!!!
Terimakasih pak Sunardi sudah menjaga dengan baik situs megalitikum nenek moyang Indonesia khususnya Sulawesi ❤
Pokekea is the most amazing place I’ve ever visited in Sulawesi. I went there earlier this year, also to other megalithic sites and beautiful Lake Tambing
Sam, thanks for this, for travelling thru the jungles on behalf of me - city guy... It resembles to the easter island statues... but smaller.
Thank you very much Sam for sharing these amazing places 🙏
Glad you enjoyed!
Wow indah sekali tempatnya di tambah dengan batu2 yg penuh mistery .love it.
WOAH,Lucky for me to found your channel,,,will start watching it,,,
You can get the very amazing experience in here Sam. This is Indonesia land. Proud to you. 👍👍👍
Terima kasih sudah berkunjung Mr Sam.🙏🙏🙏
Only just discovered this channel, why have I wasted so much time watching Itchy Boots? This channel is far better, thank you Sam.
You are a brilliant videographer, mate.
Woww 😍 that's was so amazing. savannah, stone. amazing sky n star in the night . There's no one, like no people that life in there.... I'm so amaze. And as always excellent video on your channel and I enjoy to watched this video

The statues remind me about Moia statue Easter island.😮
I have heard of some of these forever- but how lucky to be the first to see the other area !!!
I am so stoked to see this !!!
Just fabulous you got there
Me too. It exceeded every expectation I had over the years of dying visiting this place
There is a structure underneath the ground, seems massive. Could be altar for worship, wow that is fascinating
Woww is a beautiful
So magical place, maybe lots of statue build for pray or something, so interesting and make curious.. Nice filming bro.. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Luar biasa. Terima kasih sudah berkunjung ke Lembah Behoa. 🙏🙏🙏
I have never been to Sulawesi, never would have known about these amazing megalithic sites if not for you. It just turned up in my feed and I'm thankful for that. Great video
Graet video
Sungguh luar biasa INDONESIA ku..
Big Respect and Thank to u Sam...
Wonderful. It's so rare seeing this site being visited by a traveler, let alone a foreigner. I agree that it should caught the attention of UNESCO by now, and it looks better than Stonehenge😂
Yea we were even the first tourists to visit some of the sites. Incredible. Bada valley is visited more often. But not still not much. Besoa valley is hardly visited by anyone
You’re incredible sam!
Wow really nice waterfalls, and a really tough hike up the volcano.
saya sangat setuju unesco harus melakukan penelitian dan perlindungan 👍
Saya harap 🙏
I live in Palu and never leave my jacket on during the day. your skin will definitely burn. My respects to Mr. Sam who has brought us to the Besoa Valley. has introduced the uniqueness and richness of our ancestors. Thank You
Mr Hansen? I am sam indowild. You think of someone else 🫣
Blownaway by these ancient relics, great video
perfect place to camp, beautifull place
Yes it was!
How am i from Sulawesi and do not know this place exist. Thank you so much for sharing.
menunggu..🤩
i am from the island itself, yet i have never been able to visit this amazing site. it seems like a continent away from Manado. Thanks for the virtual tour of the place.
Wow 😍 bro.. Beutiful
There is so many historical evidence of human civilzation in the past in Indonesia..
Great ancestors!!
Bucket list-ku ini. Semoga ada umur panjang, kesempatan dan kesehatan agar bisa gowes ke sini. Thanks, Sam for exploring Lembah Besoa. May your channel grows rapidly,
memang cuaca di palu sangat panas bro...
There are two suns in Palu. Ada 2x matahari
My 1st favorite part: 9:27-9:39
My 2nd favorite part: 23:26-23:28
Somehow, I was filled with the feeling of nostalgia seeing those parts (déjà vu?) even though I haven't gone there before. Must be because of the superb editing and shots. 😍

danau meaning is lake

Channel that i always wait to watching,, hopefully you always healthy sam, thanks for the Amazing video.
suka deng konten bagini ,,,mantap
Thank you for showing us those beautiful mysterious stones...
My pleasure. There are many fascinating places like this in Indonesia
Top quality content. In one of your videos you mentioned living in Indonesia since several years - what do (did) you do for a living?
I work on various projects. In the power generation industry. Once project is finished I have lots of free time to shoot these video. Takes me a while to edit though.
Im indonesian and i travel a lot within and outside my country. But how come i just knew this place exist in my country.
That’s really amazing. That’s my goal. To show you places you never know existed.
Sebagai orang Palu bangga.
Good content, as always 🙌
Glad you think so!
Amazing. @unesco should see this
Sam, please come to kalimantan.. knowing about dayak culture
It surrounded by beautiful view
Alhamdulillah
it's amazing, an advanced civilization at that time..UNESCO should recognize it, and the government can research it further and protect it..
Wow, thank you very much...proud of you, I feel honored as a Palu person
Palu really is the hottest place on planet earth 🥵
@@IndoWild Yeah...because Palu is the number 1 hottest city in Indonesia 😄
Thanks for exploring Lore Lindu Biosphere Reserve
SAYA KESINI KARENA MELIHAT CONTEN CRISTIAN HANSEN❤
Welcome. Sudah subskribe?
You have to meet Pak Iksam, he is the Museolog of Central Sulawesi Museum with very interesting knowledge. One of the best scholar and story teller to learn about the megaliths
I wish I knew that information when I’m there. Would have loved to meet him
Semoga sebelum natal channel kamu sudah mencapai 100k subscribers🎉
I hope so
I’m speechless the place is so amazing and the stones like incredible.
Epic megalithic mystery.
Sulut mnd❤
Great video - amazing content. Keep it up!
Thank you! Will do!
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the video, and love the background music, makes me feel like watching a Ghibli video with all the views and stuff :D
Glad you enjoyed!
Menurut ilmuwan LIPI prof Danny Hilman
Dilihat dari jenis batu megalit di Palu tsb sangat sulit dipotong secara rapih dengan menggunakan teknologi alat pemotong batu yang ada sekarang,,,
Hallo sam vidio yg indah, walaw saya tidak mengerti apa yg kamu bicarakan, tapi saya menikmatu vidio dengan ke indahan alam indonesia,
aktifin subtitle Indonesia nya..
Ada subtitle sudah translate .. Cek CC di tab
do you think these stones have the same origins as stonehenge in England? yes, you are right that the area where the stones are located must receive serious attention and protection not only from the local government but also from international bodies. good shot Sam.
I don’t think they are 5he same people as the Stonehenge builders. At least not in a literal sense. But it’s clear that all over the world at around the same time, many megalithic cultures appeared.
Long story short, this place was one of the rute for polynesian culture, it have similar culture left behind, like this statue, the other stuff is called "kain kulit kayu" or tree bark cloth just like in hawaiian culture, but in this places, still holding the acient technic how to made it from the scratch. It's literally the genuine one, im not say the other culture not genuine enough, but in behoa we still have the locals with direct acient family line.
Welcome to Celebes Sir👍
Cool
mampirlah kesulawesi tenggara
indah sekali 🥰
Actually if you also around Poso lake you will find also some nice thing like ancient tomb under stone around the lake with real traditional coffin. Thats more old than ancient coffin in toraja.
Yes I did go through Danau poso and I loved Tentena but unfortunately didn’t have time to visit those places. Tentena is a fantastic place
Mkay, as Indonesian i just know there is such an ancient site in Sulawesi
Bagus kontennya, semangat selalu... Tuhan Yesus memberkati 🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️
Video luar biasa ❤❤❤
Makasih
pak Sunardi: ...spirit boat, perahu arwah. mbak2 Indonesian parroting and trying to "explain more": ...arwah is ghost.....😂
😂😂😂 Kezia is laughing at this …
@@IndoWildarwah" means "spirit/soul"..but most indonesian think it's refer to a ghost
subscriber baru video sangat bagus
Videonya keren - keren semua , jaga kesehatan sam …kapan Video baru tayang ?
Saya pikir hari senin bang. Sudah edit. Saya Mau bikin thumbnail dan deskripsi dulu
Wisata megalitikum yg underated banget 😢
I can see the beauty of palu from your video. Thank yau
My pleasure 😊
this is not Palu, this Besoa valley in Poso regency central sulawesi. it about 4 - 5 hour from Palu.
You’re right. But it’s much much easier to access from Palu than poso. Makes me wonder why exactly it’s part of poso when the only road that leads there from poso is the jungle road which is in very poor condition and is not even displayed on Google maps 😅
@@IndoWild yes, this is what Napu people ask too. actually this about the political will of the Poso regency leader who is only good at making promises due the campaign but then not action it all.
Patung patung megalit tersebut serupa dengan yang ditemukan di Easter Island Pasifik. Bagaimana peradaban yang mirip bisa berada di pulau yang jauhnya ribuan kilometer merupakan sebuah misteri.
Mantap bro terus eksplorer sulawesi....selamat sudah 10k subs
situs megalitik di sulawesi tengah seperti tanda dimana ada sebuah kota jaman pra sejarah
Yes there was a whole culture of people living in these Central Sulawesi valleys
Amazing
Thanks
Indonesia memiliki peradaban yg sgt tua...msh bnyk peninggalan situs2 sejarah yg msh blm ditemukan...bahkan gunung Padang pun msh menjadi misteri sampai sekarang ..Karena baru dipermukaannya saja yang kelihatan ...blm yg di dasar ya yg diperkirakan berumur 20.000 Sebelum Masehi...piramida Mesir saja berumur 10.000 sebelum Masehi...para peneliti bahkan dari luar memperkirakan bahwa Nusantara/Indonesia berasal dari bangsa Lemuria..Sunda land ..adalah Atlantis yg hilang ...entahlah....
Boongan itu. Penemuannya saja tidak diakui dunia. Ngarang...
pulau sulawesi tidak terhbung dengan sunda land. dia adalahtanah sendiri yang di sebut oleh darwin garis walaceae dengan keunikan tersendiri.
Not Darwin. It was Alfred Wallace
@@IndoWild yes you are right it was Alfred Wallace. i make mistake. in my mind I remember about darwin theory.
