In this panoramic photo looks a tomb under the shade a tree. The tomb was not inscribed, so it can not be ascertained tomb owner and his contemporaries.

Wikipedia source is written:
"In Chinese records, it was first referred to as Lanli (藍里) in Lingwai Daida by Zhou Qufei in 1178, later Lanwuli (藍無里) in Zhu Fan Zhi, Nanwuli (喃Kangxi Style Kangxi Radical 030.svg巫哩)in Daoyi Zhilüe, and other similar variations. In European sources it appears as Lambri (for example in The Travels of Marco Polo), Lamuri, or their variants (Lamori, Lambry, etc.)." Source

In this area we find a sandalwood tree that grows wild. The news of a few historical notes, sandalwood is one of the Lamuri Kingdom export commodities in the past.

@steemvest17 looking into the camera and a team of researchers to relax and rest while enjoying the fruits on the sidelines of research. Conditions without complaint sat on the ground, in order to achieve objectives.

Some new findings are:

Coin mold.

Keuudeip have read scratches writings contained in this object, it has the expertise to read the ancient writing on the stele. Prediction while, this thing is a container mold coins belong to the Lamuri Kingdom, but unfortunately we have never found the coins belong to the Lamuri Kingdom until today. I hope @keuudeip willing to make a special post about it here, previously he had made a post about it on http://www.misykah.com/, but what happens we access "Error establishing a database connection". He lack of funds to revive the website management. Keep the spirit @keuudeip...

At the location of the heritage area Lamreh hills, we find the distribution of ceramic shards of china and local pottery. Signifies, this is a busy neighborhood when it was a trading city with a port mainstay.
