Plain Of Jars

 

The Plain of Jars is a megalithic archeological scene in Laos. Scattered in the scene of the Xieng Khouang level, Xieng Khouang, Lao PDR, are a large number of megalithic containers. These stone containers show up in groups, extending from a solitary or a couple to a few hundred jugs at lower foothills encompassing the focal plain and upland valleys. More than 90 locales are known inside the area of Xieng Khouang. Each one site ranges from 1 up to 400 stone containers. The containers change in tallness and measurement somewhere around 1 and 3 mtrs and are all without special case cut out of rock. The shape is round and hollow with the bottom dependably more extensive than the top. The stone containers are undecorated except for a solitary jug at Site 1. This jug has a human bas-help cut on the outside. The depictions, which portray substantial full-frontal people with arms raised and knees curved, are dated to 500 BCE - 200 CE. Lao stories and legends recount a race of monsters who possessed the territory managed by a lord called Khun Cheung, who battled a long, inevitably successful fight against his foe. He supposedly made the jugs to blend and store colossal measures of lau hai to praise his triumph. An alternate nearby convention expresses the containers were shaped, utilizing characteristic materials, for example, mud, sand, sugar, and creature items in a kind of stone blend. This headed local people to accept the hole at Site 1 was really a furnace, and that the enormous jugs were terminated there and are not really of stone.
