An ancient mound in Lore Lindu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, with sculptured stones and menhirs. It is in a very nice setting. The Balinese transmigrants and local communities still honour the site. There are two sculptured stones in good condition - one is known as Peka Sele. There is also an intriguing "stone map" on the top of the mound. The flat stone is interpreted by local as a map (of the sky?).
There are dozens of other sites in the Lore Lindu landscape and you could stay for weeks exploring those.
