Track The Traces Of Aceh Civilization

On the way to trace the civilization of Aceh on the west and south coast of Aceh sponsored by @mapesa. I'm with three co-workers @keuudeip, @safar01 and @abelpasai who are entrusted by @mapesa to conduct a scientific research that is a preliminary survey to detect ancient ports and ancient settlements of the medieval period.

We received information from the local community in Blang Pidie, Aceh Barat Daya, about an ancient settlement on Blang Padang beach, Aceh Barat Daya. Without hesitation we go directly to the location, but it's not included in the list that we will go. After going through some villages, we are forced to break through the swamp to reach the site.

Arriving to the location we only found a tomb that had a gravestone of the Aceh Darussalam Kingdom of the 18th century, the local community named the tomb of Batee Meuculek (carved stone). The interim results from surface surveying in the region, we have not found any signs as an ancient settlement.

Here are some photos I recorded on the location.
