Heritage megalithic.

The story of the past can we trace of relics that still exist. Site Ai mused in Sumbawa Besar, Pulau Sumbawa, NTB present the story of the past through the rows of the sarcophagus.

Site Renung Ai is the first site found in Sumbawa. Is Dinullah Rayes (Head of Culture Sumbawa) and Drs. Made Purusa (Archaeological Institute of Denpasar) who managed to find through research in 1971. In the first study they only found 3 pieces or grave stone sarcophagus. While in subsequent studies found the same type until now collected a total of 7 sarcophagus.

To view this site directly is not easy. Road conditions up and down, dusty and rocky between cluster of hills make our physical strength tested. Visitors usually use private cars or motorcycles to transport rural village of Batu Tering. 
Next, you have to walk through the trail and forest areas and rice fields for 2 hours.

When we got there we will see a separate sarcophagus at 5 locations. Some of the sarcophagus is still in a state of complete yet another broken and shifted from its proper place. Sarcophagus in the northeast and the north was similar. If you are still a powerful force, was the one to climb the hillside to see double sarcophagus in Mount Sangka Moon. It takes about 15-20 minutes to get to this point.

Most coffin which lay in Ai mused that crafted a number of ornaments such as masks, lizards and female figures in various positions. Ornamental motifs on stone container bodies in the water Renung generally found also in the same container in Besuki, Sulawesi, Sumba and Bali. You will also see an image that symbolizes fertility genitals, while the reptile was a symbol of the relationship of nature spirits. Anyway, this site leads to Mount Sangka Moon. It may be related to the pre-history of public trust are considered spirits in high places. Some stories say that the site of Ai mused a former center of the kingdom, so the graves were found at this location allegedly belonged to the king and his family.

As the name implies, this site is in the rice fields Ai mused that are included in the Stone Village area tering Moyo District of Hulu. Of Sumbawa Besar This location is about 35 km to the south. The name 'Ai mused' itself comes from the word 'ai' meaning water and 'thought' which means the kapok tree. The point is that the water coming out of the cottonwood trees as well as sources of drinking water that time pasa population. Now the kapok tree is fallen, and is accompanied with a decrease in natural conditions and forest environment causing this spring is no longer there.

In addition to the site of Ai mused we could visit some other historical tourist destinations such as the Civil Pensions, Bala Yellow and Old Palace In Loka.
