Strange Places For Friday...!

Here is a place I found on Listverse that even has a mysterious sounding name!

This is the kind of place that fires up the imagination! You can create all kinds of scenarios in your mind about the place!

The Plain of Jars

The Plain of Jars is one of the oldest archeological mysteries in Southeast Asia. Located on the plateau of Xieng Khouang, in the mountains of Indochina, there are about 90 different jars sites. Each site contains from 1 to 400 jars. It has been estimated that they were created 3,000 years ago, and are made of sandstone, limestone, granite, breccias and conglomerate, with the majority being made of sandstone. The tallest jar is about 9 ft. tall and all are made from their own individual slab of stone. At first glance they appear to be haphazardly placed, with some standing upright and others on their sides, pointing in different directions. Further studies have revealed that the jars are placed in positions that form the constellation patterns of the stars. There has been lots of speculation about the purpose of the jars – drinking glasses for a giant race, being used to collect rainwater, or as burial urns. Most of the jars are empty, but a few have been found with bodies or tools inside, or filled with miniature Buddha statues. Exploration is hard as the area is littered with unexploded bombs from the Secret War.

This old world has so many strange and wonderful places in it, and I would love to see some more of them before I go on to the next great adventure! How about you?

We can have our coffee on the patio this morning before the rain moves back in. Just be prepared for the humidity, OK?
