KILLING LE TUNG

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A stone hollowed like a cave is associated with the legendary creation (emergence) of the Dobang / Gallong (note 1) people. SITUATION: near the source of the Sisap [note 2], the river just beyond Koku / Karko [note 3] (ELWIN, V 1958 / 1999: 157 after DUNBAR, G D 1913-1917: 62f). CAVE DESCRIPTION: The killing-le-tung stone of creation is hollowed like a cave. On this stone the footprints of men and all creation are to be seen (ELWIN, V 1958 / 1999: 157 after DUNBAR, G D 1913-1917: 62f). CAVE POTENTIAL: From an armchair point of view it is difficult to decide if the obviously visible footprints of men and all creation are an interpretation of rock art or fossils.A stone hollowed like a cave is associated with the legendary creation (emergence) of the Dobang / Gallong (note 1) people.
