Description: THIS ITEM MEASURES 3.2 IN X 3.25 IN. Plain of Jars (PDJ) was among the areas most bombed by U.S. aircraft during the Vietnam War: more than 500 air attacks per month depending on the program Rolling Thunder (thunder uninterrupted), figures from the Pentagon Papers, a attack every eight minutes for nine years, according to journalist Fred Branfman, who denounced the shelling useless in his book Voices from the Plain of Jars: Life under an Air War. Branfman has proven, supporting maps, as the Plain of Jars was not in the path of the Ho Chi Minh Trail which served the North Vietnamese to supply arms to fighters in the South. Many non-defused bombs are still present, making it very dangerous to study and visit areas in jars: at present, only three areas (Site 1, 2, 3) are open to visit. In total, more than sixty different sites that are scattered over the area of the Plain of Jars whose center is in Laos, the main concentrations of up to 250 units. But there are also similar sites, although less spectacular, on the Korat Plateau in Thailand and North India, leading some researchers to think of a distribution covering a route of trade by caravans. Currently, steps are underway to classify the Plain of Jars in the World Heritage List of UNESCO, and demining campaigns are conducted by international organizations. Only three sites are open to the public, including Thong Hai Hin, with 250 jars weighing 600 kg to 6 tons.For orders of multiple items, please ask (or wait) for a revised invoice with reduced shipping charge BEFORE paying.YOUR ITEM WILL BE SHIPPED WITHIN 24 HOURS UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR PAYMENT.FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS ONLY: WE WILL SHIP BY 1st CLASS MAIL.
