Tampano
Alo is a cave cemetery 30~40 minutes' drive outside Rantepao. Sorry I
can't find any informative articles about this spooky, fascinating cave
on the Internet. I wonder what the locals think of us tourists tramping
through their cemetery, gawking at the skulls (almost as if set out for
display) and skeletons of their dead.
High
up the wall of the Tampano Alo cave. Note the carving on the coffins in
the foreground.
What
did they intend with the clothing pulled down to show the torso, in the
third from the left?
