Unexpected Adventure to Rizal Kalinga



This blog will show how we ended up going to Rizal Kalinga. In the first part of our blog , we are at Laya . After fueling the motorcycles, we went to the bridge of Balong . It so beautiful there that's why  I got exited and started to jump , run and take some pictures.  The bridge of Balong has a good view, you can see there the farms and mountains . Also the air there is good because it is not polluted. After few minutes we already decided to go to Burayukan.


It takes more than 10 minutes before we arrive at Baranggay Burayukan , well if you plan to go there the time of your arrival will depend on how fast you drive . Burayukan is a place you can go when you are depressed or if you wanna unwind . You can shout there the things that makes your life hard since there are few houses there and it is mountainous .
The view in Burayukan was very beautiful but the problem is it's too hot because it's 2 pm in the afternoon when we started to travel and there are only few trees there. That's why if you plan to go there go early in the morning or go in the afternoon 4-5 pm , so that you can stay there longer . So we just stop for 7minute and  then we can't find the part of Burayukan that I wanted to go , that's why we decided to just follow the cemented road .
 

  Then after 7 minutes we suddenly arrived at San     Francisco Rizal Kalinga while following the cemented   road. I was shocked and at the same time I got exited   because I really want to go to the municipality of Rizal     Kalinga to see the big gong. 

        
 This are bones of Rhino that was found on 2014 . It is a   bone of Rhino that is 709,000 year old and this is   considered as a remarkable .








 

 According to ("Philippine Rhinoceros: Rewriting History and Science - Owlcation" https://owlcation.com/humanities/how-a-709-000-year-old-bones-of-Rhinoceros-from-the-Philippines-changed-world-history ) Unearthed prehistoric rhinoceros remains were discovered in the Philippines, and it was dated as far back as 700,000 years. Along with these remains are tools made by prehistoric humans. Nothing unusual, except for two facts: 

1.The most recent discovery of the oldest humans, remains and evidence, in the Philippine Archipelago was 67,000 years ago.

2.Humans weren't supposed to be in the Philippines 709,000 years ago.

The discovery offered a huge jump in the human history timeline.  

In 2014, a team of archaeologists unearthed remains of a butchered, prehistoric, and extinct rhinoceros species endemic in the Philippines that had existed hundreds of thousands of years ago in Rizal, Kalinga. But there's more to it than just discovered fossils.

The bones have clear pieces of evidence of cut marks and dents, indicating that the animal was slaughtered by prehistoric humans using sharp stone tools.

The discovery wasn't all that surprising in the world of science and archaeology, until it was dated back to be at least 709,000 years ago—a time where historical textbooks say that humans did not exist in any of the Philippine islands—using dating methods such as electron spin resonance of quartz grains, single crystal 40Ar/39Ar dating, and electron spin resonance uranium-series dating using the enamel of the rhinoceros' tooth.

The discovery of the bones of Rhino is very exciting. So if you wanna see this in person come and visit the Municipality of Rizal Kalinga.
