About
The Bujang Valley, located in Malaysia between Mount Jerai and the Muda River, is a significant archaeological site due to its extensive historical and cultural layers. Spanning approximately 1,000 square kilometers, it is the richest archaeological region in Malaysia, revealing a complex network of ancient trade routes and cultural exchanges. The valley is notable for its Hindu-Buddhist temples, known as candi, with the earliest structures dating back to 110 CE, marking it as the oldest man-made construction in Southeast Asia. Bujang Valley's strategic location facilitated trade between China and South India, and its cultural landscape reflects a blend of indigenous and Indian cultural influences, including inscriptions and metalwork artifacts. This site provides valuable insights into the socio-economic and political dynamics of early Southeast Asian civilizations.
