Adventure Tours
Mt.
Kelimutu, 1.690m fifty years ago, had three lakes,
one lake was blue green, one fiery green and one
red. Thirty years later, the colors had changed to
blue, red brown and cafe au lait. Now, Ata Bupu
(Lake) is a dramatic dark-brown. Ata Polo are dark
red-brown, and only Nuwa Muri remains aquamarine or
turquoise as it apparently always was.

No
one can explain the cause of such color changes
except to suppose that different minerals are
dissolved in the waters of each lake

the News today:
Shall
a theory about HUMAN EVOLUTION needs to change??
My name
Peter Paka (originally from Flores island of Indonesia)
received so many emails questioning me with the new found
ancient human species on my beloved homeland "Flores
Island". Msn.com opens my mind and brain to start
reading the hot news about this articles. It kept me first
minutes spent to think and not to believe since I was at
the school learned that the most ancient human fossils are
only found in Java and other part of the world. But today,
Henry Gee of Nature magazine and Professor Chris Stringer
of London's Natural History Museum have strongly recommend
scientists to analyze and rewrite the history of human
evolution. My friend Paul Boleng who was a guide
conducting the several scientist into Liang Bua have been
told that the information he gave me before now become the
world's new.
