I was wondering about your expedition. Did you even manage to see the inscription then? It was very near the entrance. Hi Charles!

According to Dr Miksic, they date to about 9th to 10th century. Yes, I was really lucky to have met up with Tres, the taxi driver. I might employ him again if I visit there again - there are a couple of other sites he pointed out that might be ointerest,one being "Kubor Badang", or the grave of Badang who I assume is the grace of the legendary strongman named in the Malay Annals. The site itself seems fairly safe - it looks like it's become a shrine now that is still in use. There is a fair amount of traffic in front of the site - I think the blasting takes place deeper inside from where I was at. Ah, i forgot to mention the age of the script!

Seems that luck was on your side, finding a taxi driver who could take you right to the site. Do you know how old the inscriptions are? It's worrying that the inscriptions are now located inside a quarry. How far away are they blasting? Let's hope they don't get destroyed. Glad to read that you found the inscription.
