Viggen Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Deep in the mountains of northern Laos is one of the most dangerous archaeological sites ever.

Little is known of the people who carved the huge sandstone containers that give the Plain of Jars its name. The purpose of the artefacts is not known though they are believed to be connected to burial rituals. full article at The Telegraph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
