Vlog: Ancient Kedah Chronicles – Part 3 | 788 BC and Beyond: The Hidden Stories of Sg. Batu

For the final segment of the video, En. Mazlan Mahmud from the NGO Ancient Kedah Resources led an insightful tour of the Sg. Batu Archaeological Complex. It was a truly enlightening experience, as we explored ancient sites dating back to 788 BC, which itself is an astonishing marvel of history.

With this, our journey through Ancient Kedah expedition came to a close.
Before heading back to KL, our trusted expedition confidant, Cikgu Zam, graciously hosted a farewell lunch at his relative’s home. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to En. Mazlan Mahmud and his family for their generous hospitality, as well as to everyone who played a role in making this trip a memorable success.

Until our next adventure!
