Lost society behind Big Wave Bay carved in stone
Hong Kong villagers speak of a long vanished culture behind Big Wave Bay. Archeologist William Meacham, editor of the Journal of the Hong Kong Archeological Society, seeks clues to who carved the mysterious rock designs thought to be shrines at the coast. He notes no written records and links the carvings to a seafaring people possibly thriving along the South China coast about 6,000 years ago.
