Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

An unspecified cave entrance (unidentified shape, unidentified dimensions, unidentified orientation, unidentified characteristics) is said to give access to a cave recorded as Krem Sla Chiat (anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013 Diary: 8th February). ETYMOLOGY: The origin and meaning of the recorded cave name -Krem Sla Chiat- has not yet been discovered but seems to derive from a corrupted -Krem Slajat- or Cave [of the] Sole [of a] Foot (note 1) or, perhaps, a Footprint Cave. SITUATION: In an unspecified location somewhere east below of the villages of Khahnar (25°23'08.3”N: 92°36'08.4”E) and Moo Knor (Moo Knor 25°23'27”N: 92°36'16”E), and above the orographically left bank of the Kopili River.An unspecified cave entrance (unidentified shape, unidentified dimensions, unidentified orientation, unidentified characteristics) is said to give access to a cave recorded as Krem Sla Chiat (anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013 Diary: 8th February).

Histoire

EXPLORATION HISTORY: 2013.02.08: When Tian Pakma from the village of Moo Knor decided to show a selection of known cave entrances to outsiders (Brian D. Kharpran Daly, Ralph Doyle), an excessively self-centered foreigner put the cart before the horse and caused additional disgust by stating that it was not Tian Pakma but Ralph and Brian [who] decided to find caves in the vicinity. Led by Tian Pakma from Mooknor village, they were shown the following caves: Sla Chiat, Krem Phylloh Masi, Krem Myntlang and Krem Rapblong (anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013 Diary 8th February).
