4.5.1 Ulong Island Palau’s history is marked by the arrival of the English ship Antelope, because for the first time a detailed account of its people’s way of life was documented. Captain Henry Wilson wrecked on August 10, 1783, when the Antelope ran aground on the reef west of Ulong. Captain Wilson and his crew came to the island of Ulong and set up camp. The Chief of Koror, Ibedul, and its people aided the Captain in rebuilding his damaged ship. In exchange, Captain Wilson provided Chief Ibedul with modern firearms that were used in battles between Koror and enemies in Babeldaob The military and technology support given by Captain Wilson to the Ibedul helped strengthen Koror’s power over its rivals in the north. After the completion of his ship, Captain Wilson agreed to Captain Henry Wilson take the Chief Ibedul’s son, Lebuu, to England. He believed that if this young man could be educated in England, he would someday return to his people and be able to educate them. Unfortunately, six months after his arrival in England, Lebuu became ill from small pox and died. He was buried in England in Captain Wilson’s family graveyard. Captain Wilson returned several years later to Palau, bringing gifts such as sheep, goats and pigs to the High Chief Ibedul. This remarkable story was recorded by George Keate, who was a member of the Antelope crew. Keate’s “Account of the Pelew Islands” recorded an amazing number of details on life in Palau including what people ate, how they obtained their food, social relations, status, and political relations. The wreck of the Antelope at the reefs of Ulong Island marked the beginning of European intervention in Palauan affairs, initiated the beginning of two centuries of colonial domination of the islands, and lead to the first Palauan to seek a Western education abroad.

4.6 Stone Monoliths Stone carvings are found all over Palau, mostly on Babeldaob and Koror. Some were used in religious rituals, while the purpose of others is unexplained. Stone pathways, sitting stones and platforms of houses and villages can still be found almost intact around the islands. Stone monoliths and free standing carvings can be seen along the road of Melekeok State. Some of these carvings are 10ft tall. These stone faces called Klidm by locals are found in many different styles. However, know that stone faces are all each different and may be called differently from State to State. Some have fearsome, aggressive faces with large sunken eyes and fanged mouths. Others are more realistic, with fully formed features and an outline of a head, like the one found in Ngerbodel village, Koror. None of the stone faces have been dated and it is unclear who made them or for what purpose. Local legends tell of gods or spirits who made them, or that they were people who were turned to stone by gods. The stone type they are made from is not long-lasting and algae growth makes the features disappear over the years Another well-known stone carving is located in Ngermid, Koror, known as Bad er a Ngermelei. Local legends say that it represents a mother and child turned to stone, others say it shows a stone face with fanged teeth and sunken eyes, and a smaller face carved on its head. These particular stone carvings in Koror, mentioned above are not established visitor/tourist sites, please be mindful and respectful as they are located in residential areas. PVA 83
