Makam lama di pangkal pokok di (Old tomb at the base of a tree in) Pulau Pinang



Di halaman sisi masjid terdapat pokok besar ini.
At the side compound of the mosque lies this big tree.


Di bawahnya terdapat sejumlah makam lama.
Underneath it there exists a number of old tombs.





Kelihatan juga ada batu nesan terpacak di pangkal pokok.
Could be seen a tombstone standing out from the base of the tree.


Mustahil makam orang Islam didirikan di dalam pokok. Ini membayangkan pokok masih kecil atau belum wujud ketika makam dibuat.
It is impossible for the tomb of a Muslim person to be erected inside a tree. This gives the suggestion that the tree was still small or did not exist when the tomb was built.




Maka melihat pada saiz dan ketinggian pokok saya anggarkan makam itu berusia lebih 300 tahun.
Thus looking at the size and height of the tree I estimate the tomb to be more than 300 years old.
