National treasure from the Sa Huynh culture

Three prehistoric civilizations flourished within the territory of Vietnam: the Dong Son culture (7th century BC - 1st century AD); the Sa Huynh culture (10th century BC - end of the 2nd century); and the Oc Eo culture (1st century - 7th century). These three civilizations formed a cultural triangle in the early days of the nation’s history. Quang Ngai is the birthplace of the Sa Huynh culture, the existence of which was discovered by French archeologist M. Vinet in 1909, or 110 years ago. After that, many Sa Huynh relics were discovered in the river basins, coastal plains, islands, midlands and mountains of Central Vietnam.
