Bada Valley

Valleys

The Bada Valley, together with the neighboring Napu Valley, lies within Lore Lindu National Park in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The valley holds hundreds of megaliths of undetermined age, called watu in the local Badaic languages and arca in Indonesian, including human-faced carved figures and large stone burial jars known as kalamba. The valley itself is a relatively flat basin surrounded by hills, and the purpose and builders of its megaliths remain unknown.
