Nestled in the heart of Ngarchelong, on the hill slopes at the northernmost point of Babeldaob Island, lies an archaeological treasure shrouded in enigma. This sacred ground is home to 52 ancient basalt megaliths lined up in two rows. These silent sentinels, known locally as Badrulchau, or stone monoliths, have witnessed the ebb and flow of history. According to traditional Palauan belief, these monoliths were revered as sacred prayer grounds, a place where earth met the divine.
