How did they get there? Why were they made? Who made them? It is still a mystery and an exact count of these stone sculptures, which are scattered in the valleys and mountains of central sulawesi, are still unconfirmed. Are theses megalithic finds relics of a pre-historic culture or were they made during the early Hinduistic period? No one knows because their shapes do not conform to anything else found in other parts of the country and are completely strange in shape and carving. Of more than a hundred sculptures, the giant statue at SEPADA called Batu-Palindo is the most prominent. Because of this mystery, central Sulawesi, is the most intriguing place in Indonesia and so little is known about it.
