GGG Ping.

I'm reminded of the Plain Of Jars In Laos.

Location of Plain of Jars and Xieng Khouang plain (blue shading).

Have you ever heard of “the plain of jars”? I think it’s in Thailand. It sounds like a similar thing.

Simple solution:

Get some Lilly white, college anthropology major, unpaid intern kids to document/recover the remains.

They really love that stuff.

The more PC they are, the more they believe that, as scientists, they're justified to mess with anybody's "final resting place". Even when the cultures they supposedly revere don't want them to do it.

"Screw 'em, we're highly educated white scientists" is their motto.
