  • It's been called the largest book in the world, if you consider each page as an entire marble slab. Kuthodaw Paya in Mandalay contains over 700 such slabs inscribed with the Tripitaka or the Buddhist scripture in Pali. #mandalay #myanmar #kuthodawpaya #largestbook #tripitaka #inscription #pali #kuthodawpaya #ကုသိုလတောဘုရား #myanmararchaeology #southeastasianarchaeology . . . . . #burma #burmesearchaeology #မဟာလောကမာရဇိနစေတီ #MahalawkaMarazein #မန္တလေး #southeastasia #archaeology #archeology #culturalheritage #historicalplace #historicalsite #monument #buddhism #buddhist #buddhisttemple #travelgram #travelphotography #lonelyplanet #traveladdict

  • Hong Kong has a number of rock art sites - most of them coastal petroglyphs on various islands. They are thought to date to the Bronze age due to the similarity of designs with contemporary ceramics vessels. This is a replica of the site at Big Wave Bay in Hong Kong Island. #hongkong #china #petroglyph #rockart #bigwavebay #museumofhistory #hongkonarchaeology #southeastasianarchaeology #bronzeage . . . . . #ancienthistory #archeologicalsite #archaeologicalsite #replica #museum #museums #rockcarving #prehistoricart #history #ancient #southeastasia #archaeology #archeology #culturalheritage #explorehongkong #hongkongtourism #大浪灣 #香港 #考古学 #岩画
  • The Ramakien is the Thai version of the Ramayana, and in this version the monkey king Hanuman plays a prominent role. Here Hanuman transforms into a giant to protect Rama and Laksmi (who is known in Thai as Phra Ram and Nang Sida) in his maw! This mural is quite a famous one, and can be seein in the Grand Palace in Bangkok. #bangkok #thailand #ramayana #ramakien #grandpalace #รามเกียรติ์ #วัดพระแก้ว #thaiarchaeology #southeastasianarchaeology . . . . . #thaiart #mural #historicalplace #temple #hindu #monument #temples #Buildinglover #legend #southeastasia #culturalheritage #travelthailand #thailandinstagram #tourismthailand #thailandinsider #travelgram #instatravel #view #travelphotography #traveladdict #globetrotter

  • Pre-Qin painted terracotta vessels from the Chinese Spring and Autumn period (771-476 BCE). The first one is a Gui (ritual food vessel) and the second is a Fang Hu (ritual wine vessel), both currently on display at the Bangkok National Museum as part of the Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors exhibition. The spiral designs are very reminiscent of the iconic Ban Chiang pots (which are older) - no doubt why they are display. The exhibition is on until December 15. #bangkok #thailand #bangkoknationalmuseum #nationalmuseumbangkok #qinshihuang #terracotta #banchiang #springandautumnperiod #china #ceramics #chinesearchaeology #southeastasianarchaeology #baoji . . . . . #museum #thailand🇹🇭 #archaeology #archeology #terracottawarriors #กรุงเทพ #กรุงเทพมหานคร #พิพิธภัณฑ์ #พิพิธภัณฑสถานแห่งชาติ #thailand_ig #thailandtravel #archaeologylife #archaeologylovers #fineartsdepartment #กรมศิลปากร
  • A selection of artefacts found in Fort Cornwallis, Penang. This is from the old archaeological museum. Lots of colonial period stuff here.
