Malaysia’s Bujang Valley: Southeast Asia’s oldest civilisation

4 Jul 2023

Bujang Valley in Kedah, Malaysia is Southeast Asia’s oldest civilisation, much older than Indonesia’s Borobudur and Cambodia’s Angkor Wat.

Archaeological evidence shows it was a thriving trading port that exported iron as early as 788BC – but research on the area has stalled.
