Megalith Jars, Giants, etc ping. Fascinating.
Alien pods?
Interesting -
The jars are not cisterns??? They could have been used as “Truck Stops”/”artificial oases” for caravans, or forarmies, to allow for rapid strategic redeployment.
Not enough study if they don’t have a guess at an age. Anyone want to fund me to figure it out? Buddha figures are anytime contemporaneous to present.
Food storage, water storage, burial,.....
Maybe for food/grain storage. That would explain the lids. They might have been along a trade route or scattered along a hunting route.
I guess they couldn’t have been for storage.
I remember reading that during the Secret War in Laos, someone floated the idea to take one back to CIA Headquarters and display it as “the Tomb of the Unknown Case Officer.”
Those are so COOL!
Please add me to your ping list...I LOVE stuff like that.
Thank You!
The Nephelin.
Ah yes, the superiority of communism demonstrated yet again.
Thanks to its proximity to the North Vietnamese border, this area of Laos became of key significance during the Vietnam War and so was carpet bombed by the Americans.
Why those mean old Americans, always bombing stuff.

Prior planning as bomb shelters?
Obviously, the jars are the remnants of a prehistoric Government Works Project.
