Ancient Laos legends tell of the giants who drunk water from these enormous mysterious "cups". Similar sites were also found in Thailand and in North India. Their locations are strung along a straight line, which suggests that they were built on some kind of a trade route. The Plain Of Jars is probably South East Asia?s most enigmatic tourist attraction. Situated in the remote north east of Laos, the mountainous communist country which has only been open to tourists for just over a decade, are hundreds of huge stone jars scattered across several square miles. http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2008/02/plain-of-jars-bombs-mystery-in-laos.html -- In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.
