An invaluable treasure of antiques, including golden artifacts, has been unearthed during recent excavations in the Dong Thap Muoi area in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam.
The vast Dong Thap Muoi – covering an area of 631,000 hectares in Long An, Tien Giang, and Dong Thap Provinces – is well known as a flooded plain.
In fact, it has mounds that are about five to seven meters above sea level located in the center of the plain.
