Vlog: Ancient Kedah Chronicles – Part 2 | Echoes from the Mountain and the Forge

Join us as we ascend the majestic Mount Jerai to observe Padang Tok Sheikh. Along the way, we uncover ancient marine fossils, revealing that this peak was once submerged beneath the ocean over 550 million years ago. These findings highlight the mountain's transformation due to tectonic uplift and magma intrusion. After soaking in the panoramic sunset views from Jerai Hills Resort (where the vast paddy fields meet the sea) we descend to the home of En. Mazlan, co-founder of the NGO Ancient Kedah Heritage Resources. There, we are treated to a warm supper and an enlightening and exclusive presentation on the region's rich history of iron smelting. Discover how Kedah's ancient iron industry, dating back to 788 BC, positioned it as a significant player in early global trade networks.
