MEGALITHS of Central Sulawesi, Bada Valley, Tentena, INDONESIA
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2024
- On the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia lies several remote valleys; Bada Valley, Napu Valley and Besoa/Behoa Valley.
Bada valley has an ancient megalith called Palindo, and this stone statue could be 5000 years old. Made by an unknown civilisation.
The rest of bada valley is scattered with ancient stone megalithic sites and statues. Some are very hard to find and I did not find them all. Central
Sulawesi is am incredible island.
Napu valley has a treacherous road with tales of terroists living in the jungles of Lore Lindu national park. Just before my campsite at Pancake Napu I was warned by the army checkpoint to beware.
It took me 9 hours of driving from Toraja to get to Lake Poso and Tentena, from there another 3 hours to Bada Valley, and from Bada Valley to Napu valley another 6 hours.
These valleys are so remote that there isn't even a road that links them all together even though they are not that far from each other.
The roads are long winding, steep and dangerous. But I made it my mission to visit them.
Watch the episode to find out if I made it.

6:23 best moment when they brought you the gopro. shows once again how friendly and honest most of Indonesians are besides a few exceptions
Yes! I would say Indonesian people are some of the most kind, genuine people on this planet!
@@IndoWild religion world wide, is a lie.. all megalithic structures, inc. pyramids, are around 300,000 yrs old.. if its buried in the ground, like easter isl., it was there before the last flood, 13k ago.. when you get 1.5hrs spare.. watch viper tv sumerian tablets.. we,,are not meant to be here..
i made 3 accounts to subscribed u, cause lately i found copy paste channel that somehow got million subscribers 😅.
TH-cam suck 😅.
You deserve more subs 4 those hardwork tho 💪.
Indonesian ❤
WELCOME TO OUR LAND, SULAWESI ❤
Mabye without Mr Kristian i wouldn"t have found your vlog..? I love your adventure in my beautiful country Indonesia..I"ll definitely subscribe you..Stay healthy and stay save..Greetings from Jakarta Indonesia.❤❤❤❤❤
I am very happy to get a shout out from Kristian. And looking forward to the next episode 😉
wow... ah knpa baru ketemu channel ini keren banget.. datang setelah lihat di video kristian hansen ..
Great video sam, I'm from Makassar and ride the same bike as yours, little tips if you drop your bike, just turn off the key switch for about 10 secs and turn it on again, there is a lean sensor that automatically switch off the engine when the bike is falling, and avoid the engine to start before you turn off the key switch, good luck with your journey, i hope we can meet when you're at Makassar
Thanks for the info!
That interaction you had with those two guys after they found your GoPro is a picture perfect example of how awesome the people are there. Best people on Earth. Brought back a flood of memories. The way he gave that exasperated sigh… I’ve seen it a thousand times if I’ve seen it once. Just the coolest thing ever.
I just found out that in Central Sulawesi there is a megalithic site, awesome!.
Yes, not too many people visit this place but it should be on everyone’s itinerary if they are travelling near Danau poso.
The other valleys (napu and doda/besoa) are a little bit harder to reach and better reaching from Palu. Which I will be doing on my way back from manado. Can’t wait
@@IndoWild very interesting information, as an Indonesian I have to learn more about cultural diversity in Indonesia.
Waiting for the next vlog.
Sam you has success conquer that route. imagine how bad the route in sulawesi back in 1988 when the camel trophy expedition held there. nowadays u still feel it😊
Wow that is amazing. I just watched the Sulawesi episode and it’s insane. Definitely has the same remote vibes.. Sulawesi is an amazing place. Thanks for telling me about the camel trophy
Great job Sam , to be at Bado valley and taking pictures with Palindo statue is my childhood dream .
Same here! I have been waiting many many years to visit this place..
Epic joutney bro. Your video fill take me to megalithicum zone😀. Lucky you find amazing place in centre sulawesi and you are brave rider ...good luck and safe to journey around Sulawesi💪
Thanks a ton
Thank you for taking us to see those megalith stones, I thought those stones would never exist in my country, but they do exist, beautiful and magical stones ❤
Kamu akan suka indonesia,,, terima kasih telah mengekspose sulawesi... sayang sekali kamu tidak sempat berkeliling sulawesi selatan dulu...
Nanti saya kembali ke selatan. Saya Mau ke bulu kumba
@@IndoWild Di bulukumba banyak wisata pantai, seperti pantai lemo-lemo,pantai bira,pantai bara, pantai parangluu, aparalang dan tempat pembuatan perahu phinisi yang juga mendapat pengakuan unesco serta terdapat 1 suku yang masih mempertahankan adatnya seperti berbaju hitam-hitam dan tidak menggunakan teknologi.anda bisa mencari referensi di google,,,
You show us the "good, bad, and the ugly" in your fabulous video footage. Thanks for keeping it real!
BRO, This really super high quality video, how tf this channel not getting at least 100k subs and more views, GOOD JOB MAN!!!
Wow, thanks! Hopefully one day
@@IndoWild keep going 🫡
Amazing Bada Valey, will be my next destination, thankyou Sam 👍👍
Have fun!
serius .. anda adalah bule yang paling Nekad diantara sekian banyak bule yang datang ke indonesia .. salut
Hallo sam, saya kesini karena melihatmu dicuplikan video kristian Hansen, dan saya orang sulawesi tengah tertarik akan perjalanan video kamu di sulawesi tengah
Good onya son. Been in Asia 40 years continuous. Gives a vet traveller much happiness to see younger guys like you carrying the torch. When you think you’ve had enough. You haven’t keep moving.
Thank you. I’m glad you think that way. I feel like I am part of a generation who want to go to instagram havens. But forget about the real adventure
@@IndoWild we had wars and colonialism to help us. Facefuls of poverty , disease and the then third world came along for the ride. Maybe your generations adventure is more difficult for sure. Being young again scarces the shit out of me !
Hati-hati di jalan bro...semoga selamat sampai tujuan
Apa nama tempat.patung unik. Mantap bisa melihat keunikan indonesia.sehat selalu. Suka nontonya
Manado was on my wish list 35 yrs ago, but Only went to jarkata & bali. Flying in those days was expensive becuase the airline has the monopoly. thank youfor showing us the beauty.
Hi hi and best wishes from Land Below The Wind Sabah Borneo Malaysia. Just to let you know when you drop a bike and the engine dies. You have to turn off the ignition. Otherwise it will not start. Once you turn off the ignition then on again it will just starts like normal. This only happens to Fuel injection not with a carburetor bikes. Do enloy your trip and safe journey.
Best
Chris
Thank you. I also I heard in the comments that there is a safety switch and timer of 5 minutes with my model too
Kamu sangat pemberani, melintasi medan berat, tidur ditenda sendiri, diperjalanan
Even though the road seem difficult to pass and google map doesn't wotk properly in this area, I think your journey was worth it. The megaliths and scenery look awesome.
Man, thanks for this video. Reminds us a trip to Bada Valley back in 2021. We did same trip on Yamaha Lexi, with less gear, of cause:) Amazing place. Amazing videography. Thank you.
Very cool! I have a Lexi in bali and I definitely would not enjoy driving all that way with such bad suspension 🤪 - you have done something more crazy than me for sure
Wow thank you for bringing me in the journey. It's amazing, the view, the road, the jalan rusak, the camping, the statue the story is all amazing. I can understand something now, the world is a very beautifull place. And regarding the history of the stone, I think they were brought there by extinct not so many giant. Lol
Glad you enjoyed it… not sure about the giants tho 😅
What a journey, what with those gnarly roads! Congrats for being able to do it.
Gnarly is a very good and polite way of calling them roads.. in my colourful use of the English language I would called them “f***ing horrible” 🤣
@@IndoWild True, that. But oh man what a payoff! Those shots don't even look real!
Yes it was worth it. But a shame I didn’t reach Besoa valley. I will try on my way back to Palu in a few weeks
Doing journey complete alone, gila epic!
Perjalanan yang sepi, agak spooky, tapi seru banget. Very memorable.
found you from Kris channel…. As my dad is Bugis (pinrang), he never mentioned this sites….eerie but beautiful…. makes me want to come back and check it out myself, wondering how long the drive would be from makassar…
very far. I think directly from makassar would 15-20 hours driving
Buginess people don't know about the megaliticum for honest. 😊
From makassar about 22 hour to bada valley ang more long to napu valley.
Otw 50k subscriber.. letsgooo..
I hope 🤞
Wow u are living legend sam.......always nice to see ur vlog.......
Thanks a ton
I used to read that rocks in the story book when i was in junior high school but never been to that remote place. Thanks Sam from your channel i can see its and know more about Indonesia more than my story book ❤ *so much roads broken
That's my bassist, her name is Noni, The Receptionist in Victory Hotel Tentena
Selamat menjelajahi Sulawesi, khususnya Sulawesi Selatan, sy hampir tiap bulan bolak balik makassar - Poso tp jln mulus tdk separah yg sy lihat di konten, sukses selalu brow SAM
The bad road is “poso to napu” - Makasih bro.
That’s an epic camping spot 🏕️
Which one? I loved both, but the second one really scared me during the night. I honestly thought I was going to have to run away at one point.
@@IndoWild the first one lol, I commented before seeing the second one, glad it turned out okay for you, I would be terrified
Try adding various subtitles including Indonesian, and surely in the future this channel will be watched a lot, always successful sam
you're crazier and wilder than mr. Kris, just passing through the valley of the terrorists is already scary, let alone camping and spending the night in the area, wow, that's really very scary, especially since the Poso terrorists are known to be very brutal and cruel, and what makes you special is that you visit places that are rarely or even never explored by anyone. Other TH-camrs, keep up your enthusiasm and don't give up, we will all support your journey
selama jadi manusia di sulawesi bart tau ada tempat ini..terima kasih telah menyangkan hal ini
Astaga 😂😂😂😂
Semoga Gubernur sulteng dan bupati poso melihat jalan ini, supaya bisa segera di aspal
Saya tidak sabar menunggu kolaborasi video mu bersama cristian hansen 👍🏻
Definitely watch his next video
Keren
Have you seen the mysterious stone jars in Laos? Their origins are also unknown and they look similar
Wow that is incredible. I honestly had no idea about that and the similarity is striking. Definitely must be some connections with the ancient cultures
eastern indonesia nature is 'there is no medicine'
We have a lot of ancient sites in Indonesia and sadly they are not received any attentions from government. No funds to dig and study the sites.
We went here in 2014, some of the best memories I've had in Indonesia, we wanted to hike crossing the national forest from Kulawi but failed because the roads were basically horrible or non-existent, so we went through Tentena. Some of the roads you passed by are still in the same condition, if not worse due to constant landslide.
just found your video and I like all of them, you’re just an amazing person.
Thank you so much!!
I didn't know that there are megalith sites in Sulawesi, thanks to you Sam
There are lots of megalithic sites in Sulawesi: minahasa, Bada Valley, & Toraja, to name some.
need know more about Indonesia, so many beautiful thing in Sulawesi
Semangat bro🎉💪
Hi Sam,
Beautiful videos, thanks very much.
me and two friends are planning to do a very similar trip from Makasar to Manado inspired by your journey but on bicycles! we will catch lifts for some of it - hoping to ride 1100km total. Just wondering where u got lost this day so we dont make the same mistake! is it possible to ride around the western side of Lake Poso?
Yes you can ride around the west but not the east
@@IndoWild thanks! :)
You’re welcome and I’m sure you’re gonna have an amazing time. I met another German guy who was solo cycling around the island too.
Wowww amazing thanks abang Sam
Great video sam. Love it !
Amazing...
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Couldn't go to Bada valley when I was in Sulawesi, so thanks mate 🙏
My pleasure 😊
Hi sam, i am ur nu subscriber,,,,just watched u in kristian channel. I am sure to watch all ur great video
Awesome! Thank you!
seem mostly the surface of the stone is so smooth for sure it's not concrete structure but maybe composed from granite material..
maybe it's similar with megalithic structure in Nias island and also seem a shamanic works to brought the monolitic structure to Bada Valley..
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Sehat selalu ya Sam and tetep semangat
Semoga video berikutnya ada subtitle bahasa Indonesia atau minimal ada teks otomatis bahasa Indonesia biar kita lebih merasakan ikut dalam petualanganmu
God bless you Sam
I wonder what was the purpose they put the stone separately one and another. According to anthropologists, ancient people in southeast Asia used to pray to their ancestors and it still exists up to now in some tribal areas. Hopefully, archaeologists will find it interesting to find out. But, with the gigantic size, it's hardly possible to move the stone miles away from one another. btw It's in my mind though. Could it be aliens involved hahahaha...
Apparently in one jar they found human bone. I reading one theory where they believe that people were put inside alive. I really wonder what went on during the ancient times here. It’s fascinating thinking about it but at the same time sad because we will never know.
I really hope someone funds a true archeological dig one these places one day.
This video is a work of art. When am watching your video Idk why i feel so intimidate, excited, nostalgic, and mesmerized. Everything is perfect, perfect! You're an artist.
Edit: Am indonesian(Sulawesi) and i never ever want to go there cause of terorist u are a mad lad LOL
Hahaha
Beautiful video.
Thank you very much!
👍😍🥰 good job Sam. God bless you🙏
Thank you! You too!
What a journey! 🔥
That Palindo has hands in the same position as Gobekli Tepe, Karahan Tepe, and Easter Island. Those pock marks in stone 10:35 also show up at Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe.
at a glance your bike looks like a cb150x, then I realized it actually cb500x
I don’t think I could do this trip on a 150 with all my bags. Some of the hills even this bike struggles in 2nd gear.
isn't it also because they bike is super heavy by itself?
Woww...kamu berkendara motor cukup jauh ya, sampai malam
Saya datang ke channel ini karena kristian hansen.. video yang sangat bagus.. ku harap anda bisa berpetualang bareng bersama kristian hansen
Definitely watch Kris next video 😉
Brigade Mr 🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨
One day I should go there. 10 years later maybe
Be safe travels my brother 🙏❤️😂✌️🇺🇸
Hati hati Mister... Jangan sampai masuk kerajaan gaib WENTIRA, .. 😱
Lokasinya di Sulawesi Tengah.. 😁
Crazy stuff!!
Yes right? I’ve been wanting to visit these places for many many years
Pretty sure I just created a world first in the Bada Valley on my most recent Sulawesi trip. Lighting painting the Palindo at night.
I did Palopo to Tentana 2 years ago on my bike. Without google maps it was easier. Got rain in the mountains😅😅😅
Hi 5!..bro?, next time give them $5...great vids
I just don’t film the giving of money and I never will do that. I think that’s a private kind of thing…. Like tipping in a resto, I also paid “tips” for parking my bike in certain places, i paid fines to police, I just don’t film things like that
@@IndoWild and why not..is it an offense to give back cash...? As well as a hand 5 gesture...I subscribed and hope you can take positive criticism comments too...
Not an offence but I just don’t really like filming giving out money to people. Just not really my style…
Great videos! Thank you! What time of the year did you travel Sulawesi?
It was in august - January
Incredibly good !!
Rare trip Amazing mysterious The Land Of Thousand Megaliths Central Sulawesi. Anyway is it possible to reach by Yamaha Nmax from Palu-Bada?
Yea but it’s a very long way. You can drive to napu, poso, tentena. Or poso tentena.
Or you can go napu, besoa valley (also containing many megaliths) then walk 12 hours to bada valley
Thx then, i will choose Palu-Poso-Tentena-Bada route by roadbike, you skipped Palu city trip by the way sadly, Palu and Donggala has different tone even in same province.
those statues are the same kind that found on all across Pasific Islands. all the way to Easter Island.
Hello Sam, very amazing video, Sam I want to ask, have you ever had a mystical experience while in Indonesia?
MANY! That’s one of the reasons why I am here.
-Gunung Padang
-Misool
-Bada and Besoa valleys in Sulawesi
Just a few of them.
@@IndoWild Wow, I'm curious, I hope you can tell me some of the scariest things you think about live sessions, by the way, when do you have live sessions Sam?
@halogadgetid very soon. I am almost at 10k subscribers. Once I reach that I will posting a time for an AMA (ask me anything)
@@IndoWild Cool, I can't wait for it, good job Sam 👍👍 greetings from Bandung West Java 🛵💨
I drove from Palopo to Tentana. It was not so bad only good rain and I had no raincoat😅😅😅😅
Saya baru liat ternyata sdh 4 bln yg lalu ya? Apa tdk ada pejabat lokal yg lihat video ini? Jalan rusak sdh diperbaiki kah?
Apparently the road has been like that for many many years. Nobody will ever fix any of those roads in my lifetime. The roads in mamasa (Sulawesi barat) are even WORSE hahaha
Come to Sumatera Bro
Because indonesia is the lost atlantis bro,so many ancient stuf in my loved country INDONESIA
I agree. So much undiscovered ancient history in the archipelago. Gunung Padang in Jawa and these megaliths in Sulawesi are fascinating.
And then thinking about the fact most of Indonesia was “sundaland” during the last ice age. Most archeology will be under the Java sea now as the rising sea level 13,000 now covers them likely settlements and possibly more structures.
@@IndoWild much older from piramida at egyp gunung padang
@user-wj9zr4rt2n yes. But unfortunately they don’t have the funding yet to confirm it. Some academics think it’s a young site. There are chambers inside the mountain which should be excavated first. I hope they get the funding from the next president so they can prove once and for all the age of this man-made mountain.
I visited and documented it here th-cam.com/video/KI5vBtzfNBM/w-d-xo.html
Yet another wonder this country has ❤️🇮🇩
@@IndoWild ok bro
lost atlantis kentut, indog cuma enak cuaca nya doang, tapi alam & struktur tanah nya jelek ga rata
That statue looks like the maoi on easter island right ?
Yea it does a bit. Probably the same heritage of peopoe
& they are well beyong 13k old.. history is a lie..as is religion..
24:41 is it burst gun shot sound?
Could be… I never notice when I’m there.
Keren sulawesi
Wow you in central sulawesi ,but why im not u going in central sulawesi
Have you visit Sinjay? There is the big megalith area full with ancient stone.
I didn’t know where is sinjay?
@@IndoWild typo: Sinjai near Bone region. The name is Gojeng Stone 4-5 hours driving from makassar about 220km.
More freq vids please mister
I will try my friend
Sayang sekali tempat bersejarah namun sepertinya kurang mendapat perhatian dari pemerintah dan arkeolog ..
I agree. It’s a shame
Anda menjelajahi banyak hidden gem di sulawesi.
That is what this channel is all about..
Great
Megalitic
Don't panic if the motorbike falls and can't start it, because Bank Angle is a circuit breaker on the engine. When it falls to position 60 to 45, Bank Angle will actively turn off the engine if it falls... wait 5 or 6 minutes, then the engine can be started. return.
Ohhh so it’s a switch and timer that does it? I thought maybe the engine had flooded.
@@IndoWild yes, the bank angle system works as a circuit breaker on the ECM and turns off the engine automatically if the motorbike falls to avoid fire... there is a 5 minute timer, after that the motorbike can be restarted...
Thank you. It’s happened twice actually. I never knew that
@@IndoWild okey your welcome...
apakah aman melakukan perjalanan ke bada valley poso ?
Yes. Bada valley and tentena are very safe
Baru tau ternyata di indo ada moai 🗿 juga
How did you drive from Bada valley to Napu valley?
LONG way.. don’t follow Google map. Drive through tentena, poso. Then there are signs to napu and a long jungle road
Be care bro...woh... U terjatuh dari motor. Kapasitas tangki motor nya berapa liter?
15 litre
Indonesia ituh surga dunia semua nyh ada gimana menurut mistrer??
I love Indonesia.
You re stronger rider
Bikin indo sub nya sir
Soon
