van Heekeren, but at the time, was not regarded as being especially significant. The rock art in the caves was originally discovered in the 1950s by a Dutch archaeologist, H. The panel where the art can be found is located 4 meters above the cave floor and 8 meters from the entrance. It is accompanied by a depiction of a female babirusa, from about 35,000 years ago. The oldest is a hand stencil located in Timpuseng cave with an estimated age of over 39,000 years. The main site of the rock art is in seven caves around 40–60 km north east of Makassar. The sites have been submitted to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative list for possible inclusion. A total of 12 images were found on the walls of seven different caves in the area. These handprints are often accompanied by fruit-eating, pig-deer looking animals called babirusas. The images were made by blowing red pigment around hands that were pressed on the surface of the rocks. At the Leang Petta Kere cave for example, in the Bantimurung district ( kecamatan) about 30 km to the north of Makassar, there are a number of red-and-white hand prints of animals and hands. Important examples of rock art exist in the Maros regency. Twelve of the fourteen districts tabulated above lie within the official metropolitan area of the city of Makassar the remaining two districts ( Camba and Mallawa), which together form the northeast salient of the regency (with just 6.9% of the regency's population in 2020), lie outside the metropolitan area. The table also includes the number of administrative villages (rural desa and urban kelurahan) in each district, and its postal codes. The Regency is divided into fourteen districts (Indonesian: kecamatan), tabulated below with their areas and population totals from the 2010 Census and the 2020 Census. The capital town of the regency is Maros. Almost all of the regency lies within the official metropolitan area of the city of Makassar. It covers an area of 1,619.12 sq.km, and had a population of 319,002 at the 2010 Census and 391,774 at the Census of 2020. Maros Regency is a regency of South Sulawesi province of Indonesia.
