Safe return for 40,000-year-old bones of Niah cavemen

Abdul Karim and his ministry’s permanent secretary Hii Chang Kee showing the media the safely returned bone fragments of the Niah Cave men.Archaeology buffs and ancient history enthusiasts will be pleased to know that the 40,000-year-old skeletal remains of the Niah Cave men have safely landed on Sarawak soil this morning.

Abdul Karim said the 122 bone fragments were excavated in the late 50s and was sent to the University of Nevada, USA in the early 60s for further research, because at the time there were no research facilities in Sarawak. “I myself personally went to the University of Florida to meet the university’s president for this effort. Apart from that we also signed several agreements for collaboration in archaeology, museum research, and even performing arts,” said Abdul Karim.
