During the excavation, archaeologists discovered skeletons in three tombs, believed to be from prehistoric people who lived in the forest 7,500 years ago. In 2000, a fossilized sea reptile called placodontia, dating back 200-300 million years, was found, marking the first discovery of its kind in Southeast Asia.
