Plain of Jars

---

Fascinating megalithic structures near Phonsaven in Laos.



Allegedly used for Burial or whiskey making but I am suspicious that they are far older and had a different use.



There were fields full of them, some were huge, some amongst the trees, some broken ones, others had lids and there were some had humanoid figures carved in to the rock.
