Ancient Megalithic Site of Central Sulawesi - Besoa Valley Palu

- 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.
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.
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?
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.
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🫶🏼
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.
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
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.
Mantap ya sejarah Indonesia
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 🍻
As Indonesian i have never thought Indonesia especially Sulawesi has something like this 😍
What caught attention is the fertility of the land and the plants, beautiful.
I was there 3 years ago and still one of my best place in Sulawesi! Thanks Sam, as usual you video really stunning!!!!
Iam Indonesian but I didnt know that places till I saw your vid Man. Fantastic !!
Thank youuuu
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
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
You are a brilliant videographer, mate.
You’re incredible sam!
WOAH,Lucky for me to found your channel,,,will start watching it,,,

Yes it was!
Graet video
There is a structure underneath the ground, seems massive. Could be altar for worship, wow that is fascinating
Alhamdulillah
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.
Amazing journey incridble chinematic..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Glad you liked it!
Sam, please come to kalimantan.. knowing about dayak culture
Good content, as always 🙌
Glad you think so!
Welcome to Celebes Sir👍
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. 😍
Great video - amazing content. Keep it up!
Thank you! Will do!
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.
How am i from Sulawesi and do not know this place exist. Thank you so much for sharing.
suka deng konten bagini ,,,mantap
menunggu..🤩
It surrounded by beautiful view
Amazing. @unesco should see this
Thank you for showing us those beautiful mysterious stones...
My pleasure. There are many fascinating places like this in Indonesia
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
There is so many historical evidence of human civilzation in the past in Indonesia..
Great ancestors!!
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 🫣
saya sangat setuju unesco harus melakukan penelitian dan perlindungan 👍
Saya harap 🙏
I’m speechless the place is so amazing and the stones like incredible.
Thanks for exploring Lore Lindu Biosphere Reserve
Epic megalithic mystery.
Sebagai orang Palu bangga.
wellcome to central sulawesi
i m from palu.
danau meaning is lake
Semoga sebelum natal channel kamu sudah mencapai 100k subscribers🎉
I hope so
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
memang cuaca di palu sangat panas bro...
There are two suns in Palu. Ada 2x matahari
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 😄
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!
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing
Thanks
Sulut mnd❤
UNESCO should see this place.. .
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Mantab bro....
Love it....
👍👍👍❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😀
Cool
indah sekali 🥰
Mantap om Sam
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.
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
it's amazing, an advanced civilization at that time..UNESCO should recognize it, and the government can research it further and protect it..
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
Bagus kontennya, semangat selalu... Tuhan Yesus memberkati 🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️
pls next "gunung padang" at west java
You can see that in the gunung gede episode. I went there
subscriber baru video sangat bagus

Thank you for making this video. If you happen to pass my region south sulawesi(North Luwu regency) give me a shout,We would be happy to host you 😊

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,,,
Video luar biasa ❤❤❤
Makasih
mampirlah kesulawesi tenggara
