Lenggong valley, Perak: - the oldest human site outside the African continent, UNESCO World Cultural Heritage The first time I went to Africa Johannesburg ten years ago.Traveling with local tour groups, they say welcome Home when they see foreigners, and welcome them back to their hometown ,I was inexplicable. Later, I realized that what he said was ''Out of African hypothesis ''. The common ancestor of modern people outside Africa came from Africa 250,000 years ago. However, Lenggong , a small town in the northern part of the Malay Peninsula, caused a sensation and began to attract more archaeologists and enthusiasts because of the discovery of the best stone age ''PERAK man'' corpse in Bukit Runtuh. The Perak Man ,the oldest and most complete skeleton ever found in South East Asia,chrono metrically dated to 11,000 years ago , which is now stored in the Lenggong Archaeological Museum. In 1991, archaeologists discovered a pre-historical sequence from 1.83 million years ago to 1,000 years in the Lenggong Valley. The time span of the entire heritage is close to two million years, which is the longest span of early human records that can be found in a single place in the world. One of the oldest human sites outside the African continent. The number of sites found in a relatively limited area suggests the presence of a relatively large, semi-settled population with cultural remains dating back to the Paleolithic, Neolithic, and Metal Ages. On June 30, 2012, according to the cultural heritage selection criteria (iii) (iv), the Lenggong Valley Archaeological Site was approved by the UNESCO World Heritage Conference as a cultural heritage to be included in the ''World Heritage List''. There are 4 World Heritage Sites in Malaysia. Two are in East Malaysia, Kinabalu Park and Gunung Mulu National Park in Malaysia, and two are in West Malaysia (George Town Penang and Malacca City) and Lenggong Valley Archaeological Site. How can you miss it when you come to Malaysia and Ipoh. In addition to the world heritage archaeological site, 1.83 million years ago, a meteorite impact crater in Bukit bunuh, and the Suviet left over at that time is also unique in this Southeast Asian region. Also, when the mount Toba volcano eruption in Sumatra Indonesia more than 75,000 years ago, the volcanic ash that floated across the ocean can also be seen and touched in Bukit Sapi, which is incredible. Laban Lake, Tasik Raban, Kampung Beng, in the morning and evening, the lakes and mountains are all wonderful and charming. Watching the fishing boats floating in the lake is full of leisurely feeling. The fresh fish in the lake is even more delicious dish food. The most famous one is Parang sungai, (macrochirus) fish belly, and there are also ''Dumuli'', ''Water Monkey'', ''Dakouwan'', ''Sudan Fish'', ''Red Jiluo'', ''Ding Jialan'', ''Baibeard Gong ''Wait, it’s all delicious flash water fish !
