6. New Human Callao Cave
Is it possible that some of the first humans inhabited the caves of the philippines? Scientists are pondering the possibility after a rare discovery took place at the callao cave system in the northern island of Luzon. Evolution in asia has always been an interesting and complicated subject but this just made it even more complicated! The skull remains are carbon dated between 50,000 to 67000 years ago. This discovery could possibly rewrite the history books, pushing the clock back 20,000 years of when humans began entering southeast Asia. This find go against the “out of Africa” theory which states that human origins are descended from humans in Africa and came from one region. The skeleton was dubbed as the Homo Luzonensis in April of 2019.


5. The Laguna Copper Plate Inscription
The laguna copper plate inscription is the oldest of any calendar dated object found in the philippines. It was discovered by a worker near the lumbang river in the Laguna province. It displays a mix of the old malay language and was eventually deciphered by a dutch anthropologists named Antoon Postma in 1992. Many historians believe it proves trade, cultural and maybe even political ties to the medang kingdom of Java. It also helps display the influence of indian culture into the area. The copper place measures about 8 inches by 12 inches and was made by heated metal words being pressed into it. The inscription discusses the payment of a debt that was paid with in gold.



4. Hanging Coffins of Sagada
Various forms of hanging coffins can be found in asia throughout countries such as china, indonesia, and of course the philippines. Well before the arrival of the spanish, these coffins were placed unconventionally by tribes who were native to these lands. The practice dates back over 2 millenia ago under the belief that the higher they go, the closer they are to their ancestors and the afterlife. People feared burying their loved ones underground where it might leave . Some people still choose to follow this practice but it’s quite rare to find. Another reason was so that no one could reach them but if they got buried up there, then there had to have been a way to reach them somehow. In any case, although it’s fairly grim



3. Manunggul Jar
This jar we see here might look not look like anything out of the ordinary at first but considering this thing is about 2900 years old, it’s quite remarkable. It was discovered from a neolithic burial site found in the Tabon caves of Lipuun point in Palawan. The two little figurines at the top of the jar are actually meant to represent the jouney to the afterlife. It’s often considered to be the finest of philippine pre-colonial artwork ever created and is designated as a national treasure. Ancient philippine religion suggested that the journey to the afterlife consisted of getting on a boat and passing through different rivers and seas which is strikingly similar to other mythology at the time like in ancient greece. It was first discovered by Dr. Robert Fox in 1964 while excavating the tabon cave system. The creepy part of this discovery was that there was human bones found inside that were all painted red. Some even theorize that the figures on the boat aren’t even homo sapiens at all and are actually homo floresiensis who would have only been about 4 feet tall and are colloquially nicknamed the hobbits!.





2. Golden Tara of Agusan
The golden figurine were see here was discovered on accident by a woman in 1917 when she was near the banks of the Wawa River. It turns out to be from indian origin and displays a hindu diety. Not long after it was discovered, it was proclaimed as the most spectacular find yet made in the philippine archaeology. The gold tara of Agusan weighs nearly 4 pounds and made from 21 carat gold. It’s not on display in the philippines as you would imagine, but actually at the field museum of Natural history in Chicago, USA. There is much mysterious that shrouds this artifact as to how it got to the philippines in the first place
