Abandoned Giant Jars In Laos Are Still A Mystery

There is a place in Laos known as the plain of Jars and for good reason. Literally, thousands of giant jars are found here. The jars are between one and three meters high, and around the same in diameter. Made completely out of stone these incredible Jars date way back to the Iron Age.

 

 

It’s one of the biggest and most important prehistoric sites in Southeast Asia. What’s incredible is that some of these stones weigh over several tonnes. Most are made of sandstone but there are others made of much harder granite and limestone.
