Archeologists suggest that the beginnings of human civilization are marked by the discovery of cave paintings. Through the evidence of such paintings using shapes resembling humans and animals, they have made the assumption that people in the stone age lived their lives by hunting and sitting in caves. ‘Karoog Kiha Nyep’ is a video documentary concerning cave paintings and indigenous communities in Malaysia. It carefully records the information, both paintings and wall surfaces, of cave paintings recently discovered by local archeologists in the Perak state, in the Kinta Valley in north peninsular Malaysia, believed to date back thousands of years, thus preserving these important artifacts for future generations.
