Liang Bua

The limestone cave extends as a deep underground chamber with multiple sedimentary layers containing ancient artifacts and skeletal remains of various species.

Scientists discovered the remains of Homo floresiensis, dated between 50,000 to 190,000 years ago, revealing a previously unknown human species in this location.

Indonesian archaeological teams collaborate with international researchers to conduct systematic excavations and document the findings for scientific understanding.

The cave maintains a constant temperature throughout the year and requires appropriate footwear and lighting equipment for safe exploration.

Researchers uncovered stone tools, pottery fragments, and fossils of extinct animals including miniature elephants that once inhabited the surrounding region.
