The entrance to the Leang Pettae prehistoric cave is pictured on Friday (16/3/2018) in Bantimurung district, Maros regency, South Sulawesi. Researchers first discovered prehistoric paintings in the Maros-Pangkep karst in the cave in 1950.

Leang Timpuseng is located about 200 meters from the main road connecting Kalabbirang subdistrict and Leang-leang subdistrict in Bantimurung district, Maros. It is about 40 kilometers northeast of Makassar’s city center in South Sulawesi.

The cave is at the feet of a 100-m karst hill. Between the karst hill and the road are vast rice fields belonging to residents. The water spring from Leang Timpuseng serves as a water source for irrigation. In the local dialect, Leang Timpuseng means “cave of water spring”.
