For a while now, it has always been more like a debate, as to whether the ancients were more civilized than the present man can imagine. While so much has been about caves and Stone Age techniques, it can still be evident that there was indeed some form of technological advancements of these people which say otherwise. All the proof of past civilization can still be evident in various places everywhere across the world. These places stare back at us, trying to pass a point of disapproval or approval to the current historical interpretation, based on how it is understood.

One of the most remarkable countries to ever visit is Malaysia, a beautiful and intriguing nation that so often passes under the radar of international politics.

After taking enough rest after that flight, my exploration started by adventuring the glorious history of Melaka. It was easy to dissect each part by visiting the museum. The nearby and one of the popular museum my tour guide advised to take a look at was Baba Nyonya Museum. The heritage house and the Mekanan Perakanan were irresistible. I will not go into details since as a history student; my aim was to focus on the historical part and civilization. We also left for Cheng Ho’s Museum which is Chinese gallery housing. It exhibits Chinese Ming Dynasty admiral, Cheng Ho (Zheng He). Melaka was considered to be a safe haven for traders,in the 16th century,especially the Chinese who fled the oppressive rule in their country. This, however, is just the tip of the iceberg on what is a long and interesting history of the place.
