While gathering firewood, they unearthed ancient artifacts.
(Baonghean.vn) - The family of Mr. Lo Van Hoan (Xieng Tam village, My Ly commune, Ky Son district, Nghe An province) unearthed a treasure trove of ancient artifacts while collecting firewood in the Nam Mo River, causing a stir in the surrounding villages.
Upon arriving at Mr. Lo Van Hoan's house, we were told that after the recent floods, a large amount of firewood from upstream had flowed down the Nam Mo River in the My Ly commune area. He and many villagers went out to the river to collect the wood. That day, as he waded to the riverbank, he discovered a ceramic vase lying among the newly eroded earth and rocks. Seeing this, he ran back to call his family members to help dig. After several hours of searching underwater, they recovered eight of these ancient vases.

News of Mr. Hoan's discovery of ancient artifacts quickly spread throughout the mountainous communes of Ky Son. People from all over flocked to his house to see firsthand the "treasure" that Mr. Hoan had been fortunate enough to find. "From that day until now, my family has been receiving visitors every day who come to see the artifacts. Some days, the house is so crowded that there's no place to sit. Although it's a bit time-consuming, everyone is happy because these vases have made the village much livelier," Mr. Hoan shared.

Mr. Lo Van Sam, a resident of My Ly, said, "We don't know anything about antiques, but for several days we all went to Mr. Hoan's house to look at the items and listen to people discussing the age and value of the vases, even though no one knew for sure."

According to Mr. Hoan, although no one has made an offer yet, antique dealers who have come to examine the set of ceramic vases have concluded that it dates back to the Le Dynasty, approximately 300-400 years ago.
