There is a new popular travel location in Indonesia, the long lost “Island of Gold”.
An article on Livescience.com states that scientists from all over the world are rushing to Indonesia after divers began uncovering countless coins, tools, and figures out of a local river, not to mention the pure gold leaking up from the river floor.
Deep under the Musi River in Palembang, Indonesia is where scientist believe they have located the long lost city of Srivijaya.
According to Livescience, Srivijaya was once a land of wealth and prosper which slowly declined to a wasteland ruled by Chinese pirates over decades of time.
Sean Kingsley, a marine archeologist, says that collecting all of these treasures is, “like walking into a museum wing, and it’s completely empty.” Kingsley mentions that this feeling is due to the fact there is little to no information on what the people of Srivijaya wore or how they lived their daily lives until now.
