Inside the Siliman Museum

After having cakes and coffee at Sans Rival, I decided to head to the Anthropological Museum at Siliman University. Entrance fee was 100 pesos.

There were a lot of interesting stuff in this museum that will make you think.

The museum is mainly focused on artifacts from an archealogical excavation site 15 kilometers away from Dumaguete. They are associated with the age. 

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this wood carving was that it was a depiction of a group of evacuees fleeing something by boat.

Yes, they seem to have been aware of the reptilians living among us back then.

What do you think? Do these artifacts match the image you have of the natives in these islands more than ten thousand years before the Spanish colonial period?

This part was the most interesting for me.

The museum also houses an impressive collection of artifacts from the Sultanate of Sulu.
