reader Posted October 27 Posted October 27 From the Greek Reporter Archaeologists have discovered over 100 ancient graves at a cemetery in Hanoi’s Hoai Duc District, Vietnam. These graves are believed to be between 2,500 and 4,000 years old, shedding light on early Vietnamese history. The discovery was made by a team of researchers from the Vietnam Institute of Archaeology, Hanoi Museum, and the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. They found more than 70 graves that are thought to be about 4,000-years-old and another 40 that are around 2,500-years-old. These graves were uncovered in Kim Chung Commune, providing valuable clues about early life in Vietnam. The excavation, which began in late March and finished earlier this month, covered more than 6,000 square meters. The team dug 60 research pits, each measuring 100 square meters. According to researchers, Vuon Chuoi was once a village from the Metal Age, which started around 6,000 years ago. During this time, people began using metals such as copper, tin, bronze, and iron to construct tools and weapons. The village grew steadily from the late Phung Nguyen period about 4,000 years ago and continued to develop after the Dong Son period. https://greekreporter.com/2024/10/24/ancient-cemetery-found-vietnam-4000-years-old-hanoi/ Quote
