The Misool area does have many interesting places to visit. Not only the natural tourism that attracts many tourists but also many historical tours scattered in the area of ​​Raja Ampat District Misool. One of them is the History of Goa Telapak Tangan.nnAbout an hour's drive from Harapan Jaya village using a small Speee boat I finally arrived at Goa Telapak Tangan. At first I thought that I would enter a cave but it turned out that the painting or the palm of the hand was in a wall of karst rock cliff that jutted towards the sea.nnIf observed carefully, this hand painting was once in a cave but perhaps because of the abrasion hundreds of years ago the cave collapsed and left only paintings on the remaining cliffs. Actually, its exact position is in the thick of the reef in the middle of a vast ocean with big waves making the remaining paintings threatened to collapse.n nPre-history paintings or paintings of ancient humans in Missool are in two places. The first painting only has 1 palm left. At first glance the painting is similar to the picture of an ordinary hand sprayed with paint and forms a hand. But according to the brother of the painting ship, he has been around since he was little and even his young parents were already there.nnPicture paintings in Goa Telapak Second hand is not far from Goa Telapak first hand. However, unique in the second palm cave, it has a lot of unique images engraved on the cave wall. Images of sea animals such as fish, starfish, dolphins are clearly depicted right between the palm of the hand. Maybe this picture tells something about the situation in the past where all their activities only hunt fish in the sea.
