The stele of stone erodes after a hundred years
The words of people continue to remain in force after a thousand years
Excavations carried out in My Lam village, Kien Hoa district by the French produced a quantity of artefacts of an impressive quality. Evidence of this trade came to light when archaeologists unearthed a great number of artefacts at the site.
Among the findings were a great number of gold Roman coins; Greek, Indian and Chinese objects, including a gold medal bearing the effigy of Anthony the Pious dating from 152; Hellenic coins and seals; Indian rings;
Burmese jade; Chinese pearls and jewellery; and Chinese bronzes of the later Han period.
The Funan kingdom in exchange exported gold, silver, bronze, copper, lapis lazuli, mother-of-pearl, silk, cotton, sandalwood, rhinoceros horn, ivory and colorful parrots.
The Oc Eo civilization was renowned for its crystal glass and beautifully crafted jewellery, and it remains a mystery why this highly developed
kingdom collapsed and was swallowed up by the pre-Khmer Chan La Empire during the 7th century A.D.
