Trip to volcano island
Part one
I was heading out to sea once again but this time not for the fish or the ocean view but to look for an island lost to history, it was nicknamed volcano island because of having many small volcanoes taking over the island surface, and that a possible tribe settlement still lived there after all these years really excited me, I did not know if they are of the nepelang people or not but they are said to be good with their hands and have a rich cultural lifestyle and are a very advanced people I wanted to do own experiment with the island.
I was very excited about getting to the island and doing my own investigation of it's tribe's people , as my digging crew and I was about thirty minutes out when we saw smoke ascending and what seemed to be old stone walls so we knew that it was still inhabited by people. however we had no idea of knowing if they are the kind of people to be violent or welcoming to strangers but we were about to find out,
As soon as we step foot on the beach we saw a little girl coming towards us with flowers in her hands to meet us. At first I was confused as to why a child will be running out to meet us but I knew from past experiences Situations like this can be a test of some kind from the tribes people for first contact situations, or it can be dangerous trap leading to an ambush of some sort, so I knelt down to the small child and accepted the flowers and smiled and I told my dig crew to do the same .
And then the islanders came out to meet us with Spears in one hand and baskets full of fruits in the other hand and saying welcome to us, in our own English language but more like a Victorian old style of English they sounded strange saying it with their tribal slang, but we became so relieved that they are a friendly kind of people, they now stepped aside for their elders to greet us who explained that we needed to get inland, away from the sea as they lived in the middle of the island, as we got closer to the middle of the island to the settlement of the tribe I notice that their home was a large building with some partial nepelang markings. And just as I was getting excited We were told to stop and wait and follow what the elders say.
so I told my crew to jut follow everything that they are told to do so as not to needlessly offend anyone,
As we go inside the building I noticed that the we started to walk slowly down a slope,
as it turns out the building was designed with a slope for a reason as I later learned it was to help gather rain water which was very valuable to the tribes people because of the continuous hot temperatures of the island water gets easily evaporated on the island's surface
So they catch the water as the rain falls and would allow it flow down to be stored underground.
As we get all the way down to my surprise there was a extremely large structure Underground full of rooms and compartments with gold writing on the walls all the way down on both sides as far as can be seen these people were more advanced than I thought and without a doubt it was all nepelang language and cultural markings all over I was very excited to see and learn more.
