Sangiran, the land of
mystery, is located about 15 kms north of Surakarta. The area is an important
archaeological excavation site, where Eugene Dubois revealed the famous ancient Java Man pithecanthropus
erectus in 1894 - who inhabited the Old World from about 1.7 million until 250,000
years ago. |
|
| This area is well-known
among archaeologists, where they can do scientific researches in anthropology and geology.
Here, there are lots of prehistoric remains, still in original form, buried under the
layers of soil. Now, there is also a mini-museum exhibiting prehistoric fossils of human being, mammals, marine animals, and plants.
