00:00:13
Laos a landlocked country in Southeast
00:00:16
Asia is home to one of the most bizarre
00:00:18
historical spectacles archaeologists
00:00:20
have ever laid eyes on
00:00:23
spanning hundreds of square kilometers
00:00:24
of rugged grassland is the plane of jars
00:00:27
so called because of the three thousand
00:00:29
massive Hollow Stone vessels scattered
00:00:31
across the land some weighing up to 30
00:00:34
tons and measuring up to 10 feet in
00:00:36
height
00:00:38
the playing incorporates numerous
00:00:39
mountain ridges forests and Fields north
00:00:42
of the Laos capital of Vientiane in
00:00:45
addition to the local laoshan people
00:00:46
these lands are stalked by tigers and
00:00:48
other hidden dangers
00:00:51
the locals have long known about the
00:00:53
plane of jars but their relatively
00:00:55
recent western Discovery in the early
00:00:57
20th century prompted archaeologists to
00:00:59
try and solve the puzzle of these
00:01:01
mysterious Stone vessels
00:01:06
French archaeologists were among the
00:01:07
first westerners to study the jars
00:01:10
one named Omri Permanente noted that
00:01:13
while most of the jars were empty some
00:01:15
still contained items such as ceramic
00:01:17
pots small weapons and odd trinkets
00:01:19
including glass beads bronze jewelry and
00:01:23
children's teeth
00:01:24
it was also noted that several contained
00:01:26
remnants of human bones
00:01:29
close inspection finds a few of the jars
00:01:31
adorned with primitive carvings of human
00:01:33
faces and figures laying amongst the
00:01:36
monolithic jars are circular discs of
00:01:38
stone presumably Lids which according to
00:01:41
UNESCO are quote also sometimes carved
00:01:44
with representations of humans tigers or
00:01:46
monkeys
00:01:47
[Music]
00:01:50
one of the enormous jars features an odd
00:01:53
Frogman carving a possible reference to
00:01:56
or a relative of the Frogman painting at
00:01:58
huashan China which contains some of the
00:02:01
oldest known cave paintings
00:02:04
archaeologists initially estimated the
00:02:06
charge to be some 2 000 years old which
00:02:08
would make them products of the Iron Age
00:02:10
however a recent study published in 2021
00:02:13
has revealed that they may in fact be
00:02:15
more than three thousand years old
00:02:20
while their true Origins and purpose
00:02:22
have baffled many academics historians
00:02:24
and anthropologists the locals have
00:02:26
their own explanations

00:02:35
thank you
00:02:38
the locals of Laos tell of a legend
00:02:40
passed down by the elders from
00:02:41
generation to generation and still
00:02:43
believed by many have allowed people to
00:02:45
this day
00:02:47
the legend says that Laos was once home
00:02:49
to a race of giants led by their King
00:02:51
kunchang who waged a long and hard war
00:02:54
against an evil enemy ultimately
00:02:56
emerging Victorious
00:03:00
to celebrate and Coast his victory vast
00:03:02
quantities of a rice wine known as Lao
00:03:04
Hai would be required
00:03:06
to brew and store the wine the king of
00:03:08
the Giants created the huge jars from
00:03:10
which they could also drink
00:03:13
one of the greatest mysteries for modern
00:03:15
researchers is in the logistics of how
00:03:17
an early civilization could manage to
00:03:19
transport such immense and heavy objects
00:03:21
from the Quarry to the resting place a
00:03:24
journey of up to 10 kilometers largely
00:03:26
uphill
00:03:27
some might say this supports the theory
00:03:29
that the jars were once hewn by thirsty
00:03:31
Giants
00:03:36
the Indian jars
00:03:41
approximately 500 miles from the
00:03:43
plaintiff jars in India is the Assam
00:03:45
Forest in 2020 a survey of the region
00:03:49
found that the forest contained a number
00:03:50
of large Stone jars similar to those in
00:03:53
Laos
00:03:58
mysteriously the jar is being excavated
00:04:01
in Assam are made from a Sandstone not
00:04:03
known to be fouled near the site
00:04:07
researchers speculate that the jars may
00:04:09
have been dragged great distances and
00:04:11
note that doing so would require a team
00:04:13
of hundreds
00:04:15
with the Indian jars being such a recent
00:04:17
discovery archaeologists have barely
00:04:19
scratched the surface in their
00:04:20
understanding and they continue to
00:04:22
discover more and more of these sites in
00:04:24
Osama
00:04:25
they've also found inside the jars the
00:04:28
impressions of the iron tools once used
00:04:30
to carve them from boulders
00:04:32
it is unclear just how much the Indian
00:04:34
jars have in common with those found on
00:04:36
the plain of jars but it has been noted
00:04:38
by some researchers that they too
00:04:40
contain cremated bone fragments
00:04:43
the secrets of the Assam region and its
00:04:46
monolithic Stone jars are yet to be
00:04:48
revealed as are the details regarding
00:04:50
how they're relate to their loud

the secret War
00:05:03
study of the jars and Laos has been
00:05:04
hindered by the terrible remnants of a
00:05:06
little-known conflict known as the
00:05:08
secret War what the Laotian Civil War
00:05:11
between 1964 and 1969 the plane was the
00:05:15
subject of extended explosive
00:05:17
bombardment by the United States Air
00:05:18
Force targeting North Vietnamese and pot
00:05:21
that Lao communist armies in the area
00:05:23
during this period more than 262 million
00:05:26
anti-personnel cluster bombs were
00:05:28
dropped
00:05:30
[Music]
00:05:31
the damage to the jars was substantial
00:05:33
many now lay broken or overturned in
00:05:36
craters created by the explosives
00:05:38
the consequences of this bombardment
00:05:40
still Loom over the land and its local
00:05:42
population today

of those 262 million cluster bonds
00:05:48
dropped an estimated 80 million did not
00:05:50
explode and many lay on and around the
00:05:52
plane of jars posing a fatal threat to
00:05:55
anyone who Strays off the paths known to
00:05:57
be safe
00:05:58
[Music]
00:05:59
movement in the area is heavily
00:06:01
restricted by the unexploded bombs
00:06:03
efforts to clear bombs are slow but
00:06:05
ongoing
00:06:06
seven jar sites have now been cleared
00:06:08
but estimates suggest that fewer than 10
00:06:11
percent of the jars have been formally
00:06:12
investigated
00:06:14
despite the ongoing efforts to rid the
00:06:16
plane of unexploded Munitions dozens of
00:06:19
laotians tragically perish each year
00:06:24
modern conclusions
00:06:30
interest in the plane of jars has never
00:06:32
waned and it remains one of the most
00:06:34
important sites for archaeological
00:06:35
research on the planet
00:06:37
consequently in 2019 it was named a
00:06:39
world heritage site by UNESCO
00:06:43
with Advanced methods such as
00:06:45
radiocarbon dating geochemistry and
00:06:47
ground penetrating radar modern research
00:06:49
continues to reveal more about the jars
00:06:51
their purpose and their creators
00:06:55
this contemporary research finds that
00:06:57
human burials took place on the plane of
00:06:59
jars with bodies being buried alongside
00:07:01
the jars sometime between 700 and 1200
00:07:04
years ago
00:07:09
this suggests that the plane of jaros
00:07:10
has held ritual significance to multiple
00:07:12
cultures over an extended period
00:07:15
it has also been found in recent years
00:07:17
that while most of the jars are carved
00:07:19
from sandstone others are made from much
00:07:21
harder Stone including Limestone and
00:07:23
Granite
00:07:25
one working Theory supported by some
00:07:27
evidence is that the jarras had a
00:07:29
practical use they may have been
00:07:31
designed to catch rainwater during
00:07:32
monsoon season for use by Travelers
00:07:34
passing through later in the year
00:07:37
a more Macabre explanation is that the
00:07:39
jars were part of a unique burial
00:07:41
tradition
00:07:42
it was customary in certain cultures for
00:07:44
dead bodies to be placed above ground to
00:07:46
decompose and dry out allowing the soul
00:07:49
to make its transition to the spiritual
00:07:50
world before a final cremation or burial
00:07:54
this theory has been lent wait by
00:07:56
another recent study which found 18 more
00:07:59
examples of human burial amongst the
00:08:00
jars sixty percent of which were infants
00:08:03
or babies
00:08:05
undoubtedly as technology in the field
00:08:07
of archaeological study progresses and
00:08:10
as the remaining Munitions are cleared
00:08:11
more information will continue to
00:08:13
present itself
00:08:15
perhaps we will one day learn the truth
00:08:17
about the mysterious plain of jars
00:08:18
whether they're rain traps burial

Description:

Laos, a landlocked country in Southeast Asia, is home to one of the most bizarre historical spectacles archeologists have ever laid eyes on. Spanning hundreds of square kilometers of rugged grassland is the Plain of Jars, so called because of the 3,000 massive, hollow stone vessels scattered across the land -- some weighing up to 30 tons and measuring up to ten feet in height. The Plain incorporates numerous mountain ridges, forests, and fields north of the Lao capital, Vientiane. In addition to the local Laotian people, these lands are stalked by tigers and other hidden dangers. The locals have long known about the Plain of Jars, but their relatively recent western discovery in the early 20th Century prompted archeologists to try and solve the puzzle of these mysterious stone vessels. French archeologists were among the first westerners to study the jars. One named Henri Parmentier noted that, while most of the jars were empty, some still contained items such as ceramic pots, small weapons, and odd trinkets, including glass beads, bronze jewelry, and children’s teeth. It was also noted that several contained remnants of human bones. Close inspection finds a few of the jars adorned with primitive carvings of human faces and figures. Laying amongst the monolithic jars are circular disks of stone, presumably lids, which, according to UNESCO, are "also sometimes carved with representations of humans, tigers or monkeys." One of the enormous jars features an odd “frogman” carving, a possible reference to - or relative of - the frogman painting at Huashan, China, which contains some of the oldest known cave paintings. Archeologists initially estimated the jars to be some 2,000 years old, which would make them products of the Iron Age. However, a recent study published in 2021 has revealed that they may in fact be more than 3,000 years old. While their true origins and purpose have baffled many academics, historians and anthropologists, the locals have their own explanations...
