During the recent field survey in Ba Be National Park in the northeastern province of Bac Kan, archaeologists have found many traces of early humans in caves in karst mountains around Ba Be Lake...

Traces were found in Tham Kit Cave, Tham Mya Cave, Na Phoong Cave, and Ba Cua Cave in Nam Mau commune, Ba Be district.

Most traces were uncovered in Tham Kit Cave, which is 50m above the lake surface. The cave faces southwest while its inside measures nearly 3,000 square metres. Its floor is fairly smooth and divided into three large rooms with many small corners. There are many big stones inside the cave, which are believed to have fallen from the cave's roof during big geological changes in the past.

Scientists discovered many carved tools from stones, and one single layer of culture of 50cm thick formed by clay inside the cave containing ancient objects, bones and teeth of animals. They also found more than 50 stone objects and traces of an oven.

The bones and teeth of animals found in the semi-fossilised form are believed to be remains of food left by early humans...

Chung confirmed that based on a general examination of objects, traces and sedimentary soil, scientists believe Tham Kit Cave was a residential area of early humans in the late period of the old Stone Age, some 20,000 years ago.

Excavators have also found stone objects of Hoa Binh Civilisation (12,000-10,000 BC) in nearby Tham Mya Cave and many ceramic objects of the Metal Age in Na Phoong and Ba Cua caves.

“On Friday, Bay Area Fox affiliate KTVU told viewers the purported names of the pilots on Asiana Flight 214.

“The problem was that the names — “Sum Ting Wong,” “Wi Tu Lo,” “Ho Lee Fuk” and “Bang Ding Ow” — were obviously fake. The news anchor read the names off the teleprompter and didn’t bat an eye, adding that the information had been confirmed by the National Transportation Safety Board.”

That Vietnamese website has some astounding albums of photos of Vietnamese historic sites and garments that are world class!

The imperial tomb of Khai Dinh is a good example:

...and -- the glass+porcelain mosaics are astounding:

It's amazing that delicate artifacts like this apparently escaped war damage...

I’ve been wondering why a town there never got in the tourist spirit and started a 4th of Chu Lai celebration.

Thanks TXnMA. Fabric and wicker artifacts also seldom survive the march of the years, even without war.
