It’s been 100 years since the prehistoric culture now known as Sa Huynh was discovered in Vietnam’s Quang Nai Province. Flourishing between 2,000 – 3,000 years ago, the culture is thought to be the precursor to the Cham which later inhabited the region. The National Museum of History will host an exhibition to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the find, and a conference on the culture will begin later this week.
