 |

Archaeologists have found hundreds of invaluable objects dating back to the eleventh century Ly Dynasty at the site of the ruined Dam Pagoda in the northern province of Bac Ninh after more than a month of research.

The items reveal the grandiose architectural style that was typical of the dynasty.
Construction on Dam Pagoda was started in 1086 and completed in 1094. The pagoda site reveals evidence of remains of at least 100 rooms.
After nearly 10 centuries, the site contains only stone floors, dragon-carved stone pillars and statues of King Ly Nhan Tong and Queen Mother Y Lan remaining.
The excavation at the pagoda was carried out by the Vietnam Institute of Archaeology. Work began on November 4 and was scheduled to finish on November 30 this year.
Tran Van Tuy, Party Committee Secretary of Bac Ninh Province, said the excavation would provide the foundation for the province to restore the pagoda.
The Ly Dynasty began in 1009 and ended in 1225 after a succession of 11 kings.
