The Bujang Valley of Kedah, just an hour away from Penang, contains some pretty cool brick temples dating to the Iron Age of Malaysia. At the Bujang Valley Archaeological Museum, you can see some reconstructions of the temples, but this particular ruin, Candi Batu Pahat, is in situ. #southeastasianarchaeology #malaysia #kedah #bujangvalley #lembahbujang #temple #ruins #museum #candibatupahat . . . . . #visitmalaysia #tourismmalaysia #travel #instatravel #travelphotography #lonelyplanet #wonderlust #architecture #architecturelovers #temples #ancientarchitecture #historicalplace #ancientcity #ancienthistory #historicalsite #archeologicalsite #ancientdestinations #ancient #southeastasia #archaeology #archeology

In 2003 the remains of the "Hobbit" or Homo floresiensis was discovered in a cave in Flores, Indonesia, sparking a change in how we look at human evolution and hominid migration. H. floresiensis was a small humanoid – about 1.1 m tall – and lived as recent as 12,000 years ago. More recent research has suggested that it was living in Flores as far back as 100,000 years ago. #bones #hobbit #homofloresiensis #flores #indonesia #humanorigins #hominin #skull #replica #liangbua #indonesianarchaeology #southeastasianarchaeology . .

A Viking goblet! No, not really. This horned cup is one of the interesting pieces from the Nong Ratchawat Site in Suphan Buri, Thailand. The site is a Neolithic cemetery which was discovered in 2003. #southeastasianarchaeology #neolithic #ceramics #thailand #suphanburi #horned #nongratchawat #fineartsdepartment . . . . . #archaeology #archeology #หนองราชวัตร #สุพรรณบุรี #excavation #fieldwork #travelthailand #explorethailand #amazingthailand #pottery #viking #archaeologicalsite #archeologicalsite #ancienthistory #thailand_ig #travelgram

Stone disc with anthropomorph, from the Plain of Jars Site 2. Decorations on the jars and discs are quite rare – the stone is wet because it had been raining which made the design easy to see. #laos #plainofjars #xiengkhouang #stonedisc #anthropomorph #site2 #southeastasianarchaeology #megalith . . . . . #historicalplace #fieldwork #ancienthistory #archeologicalsite #archaeologicalsite #rockcarving #history #ancient #southeastasia #archaeology #archeology #culturalheritage #travelgram #lonelyplanet #globetrotter #explorer #exploringtheglobe #wonderlust #travelchannel #culturetrip #exploreasia #asianwanderlust

Between the two ancient cities Ayutthaya and Sukhothai, the latter is a little hard to reach because it's further north. However, it is well worth the visit. Established in the 13th century, Sukhothai is considered the beginning of the unified Thai state and its ruins are also a Unesco World Heritage Site. While it receives less visitors than Ayutthaya, Sukhothai is as equally if not better managed, which makes exploring the many ruins a pleasure. Wat Maha That or the Temple of the Great Relic is one of the central temples at the Sukhothai Historical Park and probably one of the most-visited. #sukhothai #thailand #unescoworldheritage #ancientcity #culturalheritage #southeastasianarchaeology . . . . . #amazingthailand #travelthailand #thailandinstagram #tourismthailand #ancienthistory #ancientdestinations #unesco #architecturephotography #monument #ruins #ancientarchitecture #southeastasia #archaeology #archeology

I usually attribute the feeling of being 'templed out' to the fact that most ancient temples in Southeast Asia are very symmetrical, and after a while every corridor, facade and avenue begins to look the same. And then when you look at the carvings up close, you realise they are not all the same – they have minor imperfections which reminds me that they are all literally hand-crafted. #carving #lotusflower #angkorwat #angkortemples #angkor #siemreap #upclose #detail #អង្គរវត្ #siemreap #cambodia #handcrafted #artisanal #cambodianarchaeology #cambodianart #khmer #khmerart #southeastasianarchaeology #southeastasianart

Bupaya, a bulbous golden pagoda on the banks of the Irrawaddy river. It’s been a while since I was in Bagan, and the last time I was there I left with the impression I had not seen enough!
