Explorer and naturalist Evrard Wendenbaum, who specializes in lost worlds, embarks on a new expedition to one of the most secretive and inaccessible places on Earth: The Matarombeo Massif on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. you definitely can’t be claustrophobic to go in there. Yikes
Amazing documentary! Indonesia is a truly vast archipelago and many of its areas are still left under-explored and under-researched academically. The country is a huge laboratory of biodiversity - a reminder for all of us to keep protecting this treasure for the next generation.
Pulau Sulawesi dan kepulauan di sekitarnya adalah keindahan yang exotic , banyak tempat unik yg belum tersentuh manusia , jarena kurangnya perhatian , yg banyak di explore hanyah Indonesia baguan barat saja , orang2 dari luar Indonesia lebih tau daripada orang Indonesia bagian barat, jarena pulau Sulawesi adalah pulau tertua di dunia ini yg lain dpd yang lain , pulau ini mempunyai flora dan fauna yg tidak terdapat dimanapun di dunia ini . Terima kasih para orang pemberani yg sdh meneliti tempat 2 yg belum tersentuh manusia ini , kami bisa jadi tau apa dan ada apa didalam sana itu , ternyata mengagumkan
I live in South Sulawesi, precisely in Enrekang Regency. My grandfather used to have land in the mountains where he planted coffee and there were many strange animals that disturbed our sleep at night because when it was harvest season we decided to stay in the garden rather than going back and forth from the garden to our village. One of the animals that scared my grandfather was the anoa because they were aggressive and as big as cows. ❤😊
Thank you guys! I am Indonesian and I am so proud of you guys, your efforts, sacrifices and everything to bring this documentary to the world and especially to Indonesia. Greetings from Flores island.
such an amazing documentary of a piece of the Sulawesi Puzzle! I am from the island, i was excited seeing the anoa and the wilderness of the environment. But what truly touched me was the cave paintings and the artefacts as well as the bones. At the end part of the documentary where Evrard dkk went up on the last funeral cave with full of statues and artefacts, it gave me goosebumps and a little tears. It was truly a finding. I hope nobody took any of the artefacts for their own gain and i hope that future archeologists would study these artefacts and kept them safe for future generation to see and study.
The video did say that everything was returned to its original location, so scientific work could be done. A very beautiful place, worthy of the highest respect.
Sulawesi is a unique, fascinating island still largely unspoilt but threatened by nickel mining and deforestation . This expedition and discoveries hopefully will help protect its biodiversity. The irony is that the more publicity, the more threats emerge.
Deforestation has not stopped here. The island urgently needs more conservation areas and better protection for its existing ones. But that seems unlikely to happen.
@@newport100better find WAYS NOW. Once the forests are gone economic issues will get infinitely worse. With no forests remaining resources to draw on will be gone along with their forests. So it's not true that forests are disposable commodities. There are a lot of other ways to make livings and objecting to nature destruction is not hypocrisy. Third world countries wanted the West to buy their palm oil. It was their idea to do this. Not the West's.
In Sulawesi, Indonesia found many proofs of the oldest civilizations in the world. There, found the oldest pre-austronesian man fossils that are direct anchestor of Australian Aborigin, papuan, new zealand, and many other indigeous tribe of oceania. The oldest cave paintings. The oldest Tattoo painting. The oldest kite painting. And many more. Many archeologists said that the history books must be revised.
I don't know when this film was made, but I sure hope these explorers managed to convince Indonesian authorities to deem this area officially protected from exploitation. Wild animal life on Earth is declining rapidly. If you like living in a diverse biological landscape, its a must to protect it.
Indonesian or any other country would prefer to choose a way to make peoples lives better through opportunities from mining, tourism etc...why would u wanna live poor just to have animals live like ultra rich 😂😂😂😂
@@tatsdgreat8886 You aren't very intelligence are you. The WEF, world economic forum is already seriously discussing feeding the hordes of people on Earth "bugs" as food. At the present rate of animal life decline, that includes bugs especially flying insects that pollinate the flowers of our most nutritious food products. No flying insects, no food idiots.
What an incredible documentary! Just about as well made as any I’ve ever seen. I actually found this by researching Evrard’s foundation. So glad to see such wonderful work tied to such a worthy foundation. Lets you know just how legit it is. On a personal note, I have been fortunate in my life to have spent a good deal of time on the island of Sulawesi. It is a place very near and dear to my heart. In a nation full of natural wonder, it is a true paradise. But a paradise in peril, hence why I was researching groups looking to protect its wild places. I’ve spent some time in Southeast Sulawesi. That was about ten or so years ago. And it was visible that inroads were being made into its wilderness for transmigration settlements and the oil palm plantations that are always soon to follow. It saddened me then. It angered me. And though I’ve found some ways to temper my anger, I still find it heartbreaking that this process seems to continue unabated. I’m very glad for Evrard’s work. What this team accomplished will hopefully pave a way towards this area being protected. I mean, when you find that kind of rock art along with populations of babirusa… but then also ANOA?!! That’s amazing! Certainly worthy of a protected status. It would seem, however, that this needs to happen immediately if not soon. There is already a small chunk of land in a valley just north of the massif that has been cleared for…. you guessed it, oil palm. And this will only grow and destroy more wilderness if it’s not addressed quickly. So god speed, Evrard. I will be donating to the cause and seeing if there is any way to volunteer next year to put my money (and my boots) where my mouth is. This is a very worthwhile cause. I hope anyone who watched this and read my comment might try to do the same.
- I haven't even finished the video yet but this by far is one the best videos I have seen on youtube. Truly an amazing place. Thanks to all who risked their lives to show us this beautiful, barely inhabited land. ❤
Watching from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 Thanks for sharing your expedition and discovering of beautiful Island of Sulawesi Indonesia amazing unspoilt forest , I hope they're remains undamaged❤
On this island there are thousands of megalithic sites from BC and also hundreds of ancient paintings, the most famous of which is the pig deer painting which is more than 40,000 years old, making it the oldest ancient painting in the world
The oldest painting in the world.. So amazing journey, place where early human living ..i curious painting about long boat with many people and man with head long accessories.. Really enjoyed.. Hope many expert come to Indonesia because still have so many mysterious place and temple..thanks
I absolutely love all the drawings that the young woman did! There's a certain communication that happens when someone put pencil or pen to paper I have something that's happening right in front of you... She did very very well especially since you think of all the insects that she must have been dealing with at the same time!
we the sulawesian people vow to protect the island, but when big mining companies come in through government investment opportunities, it is very hard to expell them. Some people died or disappeared of protecting the sites from mining activities by big companies.
Tak bisa di ungkapkan dengan kata-kata, hanya manusia pemberani yang bisa melakukan nya,wow keren banget bisa melalui tebing yang curam,air sungai yang sangat deras , keren banget bro 👍👍👍👍
even me in sulawesi never seen anoa, there's thousand rare animal in indonesia usually lives in protected forest that never explore and exploited, great finds
I just wanna say respect n salute for this expedition team terima kasih-thx for made n share this documentary video , andscape nature in celebes-sulawesi island is amazing georges sending ❤ n good spirit to all of you
As a Indonesian, I say this for the rest of us : We Need HELP! to save our ancient artifacs and other traces of ancient civilizations, our Government are so Corrupt that nature exploitation and ilegal artifacs trade are Very Common amongst the conglomerate and oligarch through out the country.
அருமையான பயனுள்ள தகவல்கள் , இந்தோனீஷியாவின் சூலவேசி தீவு பற்றிய தகவல்கள் மிகவும் அருமை. மிகவும் உயர்ந்த தரத்தில் படப்பிடிப்பு அற்புதம். மெய் சிலிர்க்க வைக்கும் குகை காட்சிகள் ,நம்மை புருவத்தை உயர்த்தி பார்க்க வைக்கும் விதம் பாராட்டிற்குறியது.
The expedition leader mentions several times about the danger and the impossibility of rescue. And yet he often exhibits a carelessness about breaking bones that would certainly doom the expedition.
This is super cool! I think the local researchers should've been invited tho. Community-based conservation plays the most important part in Indonesia's conservation effort.
You can visit my Village in West Borneo of kapuas hulu regency. We have a similiar water Cave and of course old painting, burial, and old Bones of our ancestor. My Village name is Desa Tanjung Lokang
More adventure documentary with guys climbing unsecured in front of the camera and, happy disturbance of archeological sites before accurate protocol following documentation had been acquired. A kind of "Red Bull science" which appears to be more interested in "good scenes" and the dramatic plot arc.
It would've taken longer if they had to document everything. Best that they do what they do best then let the local archeologists and other people know so those local people will prepare for a longer expedition.

I’m Indonesian in London I’m come from East Java where lot of vulcano euption, but soon I will be there on North Sulawesi probably
- My question is how were they able to back track 👣 && how did they all get back to civilization? So interesting. 🤔

I mean it would be better to be placed somewhere safe like a museum and not just leave them there for anyone to take
Mereka tidak faham apa itu dkk
chinese will come to this place and make mining
Wow, there must be a million leeches and a billion mosquitos that aren't mentioned. Such brave people. Kudos to you and science loving people
definitely hahahaha
Ooh I got a million mosquito bites in Bali 😮 those lotions don’t work

Too late ! 😪
Easily one of the best documentaries of its type. I was amazed from beginning to end. I don't see how they did it and the expertise was on point.
Indonesian people is never lost , but they don't know nothin about the past. Thankyou so much for this documentary its really important for us.
LOVE Indonesia

its only 40,000 yrs old in the imagination of evolutionists. In reality, the earth isn't that old.
Always proud to be an Indonesian

Love this film! The graphic artist's work is gorgeous and compelling.
Great documentary. This is the kind of documentaries that inspire me to go out, combining science, art and adventure. Great.
Great adventure, i hope Indonesian people can protect this precious land

Jaman dulu di Kalimantan untuk berpergian harus melalui sungai-sungai.. Hutan bener-bener lebat sulit di tembus

Luarr biasa penemuan yg sgt amazing, di menit akhir video ditemukan benda benda pusaka kyknya hampir ribuan tahun itu
Beautifull...thanks mr. We love you
seru banget adventure nya, kaya di film2

Excellent...everything Excellent..drawing skills...

Those dark underground river caves are scary af.

Yeah I’m sitting here like yo, wear a helmet in those rapids you crazy people. 😳🙄 Sheesh…
That is my beautiful island, Sulawesi 🥰
Lucky you! Can we swap.....London for Sulawesi?😅
7:11 awesome drawing

Sungguh sangat kaya rasa indonesiaku.
Thank you for all of the new lovely documentaries.
Such an amazing Island 😍
This was excellent!! TY!❤❤❤😊
very special team/place/expedition. TY for sharing :)
This is super cool! I think the local researchers should've been invited tho. Community-based conservation plays the most important part in Indonesia's conservation effort.
It's entirely possible they were invited. We don't know.
the government will not support them. too little money for academic and scientific research. 🤔
Gorgeous Gorgeous landscape, mega props to the cameramen
wow thanks im from central java Indonesia
Great job everyone. Wonderful documentary. Everything was top quality. What a beautiful place.

Reminds me of the fellowship of the ring on the river Anduin (especially the book version). Bonus: Botanist Legolas 😂
This upsets me greatly
