Tombs of the kings of Beruas

Continuing from Feted by Kampung Kota folks.


With lunch and welcoming by Kampung Kota folks done and over with we headed for the next site which lies inside the village.





Welcome to the place known as the tombs of the kings of Beruas.

















There are a number of old tombs situated within this area...


























While the clear identity of those laid to rest here has not been ascertained without doubt, one thing is for sure - They were not ordinary citizens.














The tombstones, and location in fact suggest that those laid to rest are citizens of high standing, aristocary, religious masters and such. Perhaps only one or two were kings or rulers. Still this area is formally known as the tombs of the kings of Beruas.











At another part of the village of Kampung Kota lies another set of tombs also known as the tombs of the kings of Beruas...





But it covers a much smaller area. The visit to this area marked the end of our formal tour to sites in and around Beruas.
