Plain of Jars

Plain of Jars, Phonsavan. 

Thousands of 2,500 year old stine jars, scattered in the landscape on hillsides and fields.

Little is known about the people who made these megaliths, but it's believed the jars were used for burials.

Plain of Jars was also a major battlefield during the Vietnam War. This is just one of thousands of bomb craters.
