Hog Fun! A 360° Look at a Ancient Pig Mating Scene

An adventure awaits where visitors must walk between rice fields and along a small river to reach Sakapao Cave. Birds, dragonflies, and reptiles accompanies the journey.

The visitors can enter the cave using a wooden ladder to reach the main chamber. Taking a rest after walking for half an hour will help the body temperature back to normal. 

Did you know? 

Entering the cave with normal temperature helps preserving rock art inside the cave.

By entrance on the right side of the cave you can see display of a panel of a pig watching two other pigs in mating positions. This scene is rarely found in Indonesian rock art.

Hand stencils are one of the oldest non-figurative arts. Researchers believe that it is part of self-actualization, and also part of rituals, such as puberty rites, or if combined with animals, is part of hunting rites.

Hand stencils are proof of modern humans living in caves and rock shelters. The rock art culture expands our understanding of them. A drawing of an animal figure with black charcoal on top of hand stencils also indicates an Austronesian painting tradition.
