Natural Stone in Indonesia
Tread Stone, Mount Paseban, nearby Mount Lalakon Bandung, West Java
Lalakon mountain hill is surrounded by several others such as the hills Paseban, Pancir, Paninjoan, Pasir Malang. On the hill Paseban there are three pieces of stone, two of whom look like an adult human foott, and soles of the feet of children.
According to Edi, if it’s true heritage, they could be from the time of the megaliths. Palm stone has also been found in other places, such as Ciaruteun inscriptions, relics Purnawarman King of the Kingdom Tarumanegara . “Cap soles of the feet are usually enshrined as a monument to commemorate the leader of a region,” said Edi.
The stamp of the foot is also closely related to the concept Triwikrama or three steps that evolve in time. At that time, they believe if someone will ascend into the world of the gods, they should be kicked so hard to be able to jump very high.
