Tambun rock art

The Tambun rock art site, located on the west face of Gunung Panjang in Tambun, Malaysia, features a significant display of Neolithic-era cave paintings. These artworks, estimated to be between 2,000 and 12,000 years old, adorn the limestone rockface of this substantial karstic hill, which overlooks Ipoh and the Kinta Valley. The paintings, potentially created using haematite, are considered the largest collection of such artworks in Asia and may have held spiritual significance for the ancestors of the Orang Asli. The site provides valuable insights into the region's prehistoric inhabitants and their cultural expressions. Despite its importance, the location remains challenging to access due to overgrown paths and steep terrain.
