Is Malaysia about to lose its lost civilisation again? MalaysiaNow 4/4/2021 © Provided by MalaysiaNow Malaysia is dangerously close to losing what may be its most important ancient site unless somebody with influence comes to its defence. The Sungai Batu Archaeological Complex in Kedah has seen generations come and go but the current one will be the one that seals its fate. The four-square-kilometre site is buried under an oil palm plantation near Sungai Petani, in which since 2009 researchers have discovered astounding relics that are more than 2,000 years old: the handiwork of a mysterious, unrecorded civilisation. Older than both Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Borobudur in Indonesia, which were built in the ninth and 12th centuries respectively,the site was declared the oldest civilisation in Southeast Asia by five archaeological bodies representing the world’s five major civilisations, namely Mesopotamia, Indus, Mesoamerica, China, and Greece-Rome.
