What is the oldest undisturbed and untouched forest in the world?

Mount Lico, a mountain in Northern Mozambique, Africa, has a height of 1100 meters with a steep cliff of 700 meters. This makes Mount Lico very difficult for humans to climb.

Who wants to climb a mountain with a height of 1100 meters when you can climb a mountain that is higher but easier than Mount Lico?

Mount Lico supports the growth of old-growth rainforest on its summit:

The forest has actually been untouched by humans. In 2018 a team of researchers and expert mountain climbers visited the forest (detected by Google Earth for scientific progress) for exploration*.

They found small animals that may or may not have been known to science so far (including a new species of butterfly). Oddly enough, they saw mysterious clay pots near a small stream located at the top of the mountain and they assume that the pots were placed there for religious ceremonies.

The most convincing perception of all the news about the Mount Lico rainforest is that it is untouched, inaccessible, and fortunately undisturbed for a very long time.

Translator’s Note: I’ll add some photos to show how great Mount Lico is:
