Even after all the destruction in this part of the world the people are very friendly and giving. Thailand and Cambodia and Laos and Vietnam all have a very special people with the most beautiful landscape in the world. It is a place everyone should see. The people and their culture are so laid back and friendly. These people thrive on helping thei community. I loved every visit I ever made. Many wonders and thrills in South East Asia.

I am Hmong, a refugee, and anthropologist. I've been following your videos as an avid hiker from California interested in history. I was very surprised to see something very familiar to me. They say that Laos was the most heavily bombed country per capita in history. I'm glad that your view on archeology includes recent related material remains. I appreciate the wholistically contextual and educational content. Thank you for sharing about the Secret War. For too long Westerners have questioned and distance themselves from our community. This is because we fought in the Secret War, hence, coming in secret. Thank you for bringing into light what was kept secret for far too long--something we can use to bring our communities together.

Laos is the place where my parents, my great grandparents were born and raised there.. Every time my mother tells me stories about her life during the vietnam war/ secret war she would cry...the struggle is a huge challenging for my mother.. She often go there just to visit.

My father-in-law 2nd Lt Nhialue Vang was stationed at the military camp at the Plain of Jars. My Uncle has only been there once because of the painful and bittersweet memories of war and the separation of families left behind in Laos due to war. It's a beautiful sight and a must see for travelers.

The local Hmong ppl has a folklore that tells of a man (Shee Na) and a woman (Ngao Njua) who were running away. Every evening, they made pots so they can use them to cook with. They couldn't carry the pot with them so they kept making more.

Much such pleasure to review my humble knowledge about The Indochinese War in which all populations were born in three pieces of lands (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia) of the world had suffered for decades.I visited Laos in 2010, many villagers asked me: "We met Americans during war, but where they are now. In change, there are many Chinese Business Development all over land of Laos. Only one English class managed by private owner." I pray for all people who were killed there by war including Americans. My Warm Best Regards to all film makers and mindful viewers.

Some Hmong pilots for the Laos Air Force were trained in the U.S.A ( I souldn't say the Air Base). Recall that They had real sharp uniforms and were prowd people.They were training on jets rather than prop and the learning curve was high and some paid the ultimate just training. (Personally witnessed). Sad situation as they were used without proper pay and recognition, although Minnesota did a respectable effort to provide a new home and recognize their war effort.

Larry Willey pretty amazing as almost none of the Hmong pilots had driven cars or seen them in some cases before they learnt to fly. My dad was in Laos in “68 or “69 and did a lot of drinking with Hmong T28 pilots. He and mum ended up getting deported as the CIA and government were not happy with a couple of Australian tourists without visas being there. They had their passports confiscated and before they were deported went to the Australian embassy but it was Australia Day and the lazy pricks there sent them away because it was a public holiday and they were busy barbecuing.

Alex, I love your channel! I lost all of my archives from 25 years of research in the so-called "Camp Fire" 4 years ago. I have searched over and over trying to find a very profound video in 5 parts from youtube about the Chumash Indians of Santa Barbara. It documented how the city was laid out and the Indians were hired to help survey it. They pissed on the ropes used and the survey got really messed up. This is why the streets are all so crooked and messed up there. The video also revealed sorcery and a mirror placed up in the mountains above town that shown down the central street and messed with people's minds. It exposed that many people went insane in the 1880's there for no apparent reason. It also spoke of the Indians going around a preaching love to the settlers. the video claimed that the Chumash were the wisdom keeps of Turtle Island and that many of the sages from the tribes were sent their when near death to download all of their knowledge to the wisdom keepers. Do you know about this video, or where I can find a copy? Unfortunately I have forgotten the name of the 5 part series!

Great video. My ma and pa are children of the war in Laos. After the American withdraw from southeast Asian my parent made their way to becoming refugees in Thailand. Now resettled in the States, we younger generation kids no nothing much of Laos. Sad seeing the hardship they go threw with so many bombs dropped. Plain of jar is a beautiful site. A Vietnamese hide out. War have left its mark.

The story was about newspaper headlines, and how kids imagined it in their heads. So for example, one headline was about "carpools." So the kid was illustrated as imagining swimming pools in convertible cars. But one said "Guerrillas Attack on Plain of Jars" which showed a bunch of club wielding gorillas attacking over a field of glass jars. I got the joke a little when I was a kid, but little did I realize that the "Plain of Jars" **really** was a plain of jars! ...

I know it's a little late but to the people of Laos I am so sorry that my country did this to you 50 years ago. I protested the war in Asia all through the '60s and '70s. Thank God we got our country to stop bombing you. I hope in the future there is something I can personally do to help you.

It seems to me that the US should hire on as many volunteers as possible, put them through a 2 to 3 week safety and handling course on unspent ordinance, then at the US's expense, send them over to teach the course to people in Laos, then go out in a grid pattern, locate and remove the ordinance as SAFELY as possible. Maybe even detonating areas from a safe distance, where safety is a particularly dangerous concern. This would thereby remove the threat to residential and commercial areas primarily. Just a thought.

@Tillerman, one of the Ten Commandments is “thou shalt not murder.” And, Jesus is the Prince of Peace. When a person receives Jesus into their heart, a supernatural peace comes with it. That is the message in my user name: If you know Jesus, you know peace. Would you like to have a peace that surpasses understanding? If yes, you need Jesus. I hope you will remember that Dark times are coming to the world. When all seems lost, turn to Jesus. Just speak as if to a God... “I am here now. I accept now. Please open my heart and be my savior.” Jesus accepts all who come to Him with an open heart, in truth. Sometimes, it takes a brokenness to accept that. I hope you understand this before it is too late for you.

Congratulations Mr. Alex. Great expedition.

This makes me terribly sad for the people of Laos and others that the US has tried to force its will upon. It also makes me very angry. I missed the draft by only two years, and I thank God I did. No wonder our boys came home in the shape they did. This war was so wrong, but then all of them are.

Any idea where the Chinese cultural center was? In the book "War for the Hell of it" the pilot who wrote that, said he mistakenly dropped multiple 500 Lb bombs on it, and almost ruined his career. He thought the white dome of it was the white phosphorous plume marking the target.

hmmmm how long has this video been film? my last visit this plain of jars on September 10, 2014 everything not like this anymore, all change.

Hi Alex I haven't watched part 2 or 3 yet, but your stories and video research always fascinates me. My guess is that since this was the so-called secret war ( most likely driving by the CIA) of southeast Asia being fought simultaneously while American troops for the most part and some Australian back up troops,were witness to some very important strategic territory. Now my second guess, and you may think I'm reaching, is that they were all in a mad dash to retrieve the bones of giants from the ante-deluvian period,or the period right up to the time of the battle of Jericho, the taking of Canaan by the tribes of Israel, of Aaron, Moses and their divided and united peoples. It seems giants roamed the earth on all continents, and that the legend is, the ancient Hmong peoples made a rice wine and served the normal, non Nepthalim people. When they were eventually killed and buried at some of these sights all over, in north and south America, Europe, Asia Minor, Asia Major, Africa, and even Australia. They left remains of jars, temples , carvings, cities, as in Macchu Picchu, the ancient Nile valley, even before Thebes, the ancient Greek mythology , in my opinion , was even based on these strange half man , half animal abominations, written about also in the Book of Enoch in Genesis, in the Book of Numbers, and in many more biblical chronologies. I am only scratching the surface , but I think you know where I'm going with this. That there was money to be made by the gathering of these ancient bones, skulls, skeletons, and tools, and clothing they wore, what technology they had with metallurgy and alchemy. There is a lot more to be explored. I will check out your other videos in the coming days and see what deductions you've made regarding your explorations in the Plain of Jars...

I'm hmong and I'm happy I'm here today because we had a vitnam war^_^

That chimney chute was the hideout for north Vietnamese. They had a machine gun at the top to shoot the bomber planes that my father and uncle flew. According to my father, of the thousand bombs dropped, none ever hit the cave because it was too heavily secured and dangerous. My father said sorry for the damages to the jars.....LOL. The place has changed since the 90's when I was there.

When I was producing the film I encountered an old POW/MIA report indicating that several captured American pilots were reportedly held in that cave...........

I thought the same hahah

The jar with the lid looks like it collects water

We, think as the Unites States, we can step on whom ever we want. That is why we are now number 23 ranked in world powers as opposed to number 1. Why is that. Mentality. We are stupid.

My brother-in-law was in Laos it was no secret to him or anyone else I remember my neighbor Donnie Ayers was in Laos he got shot up and came back then went back again

Thanks for watching and your comments. I served in the region, but I would venture to say that the vast majority of American don't even know where Laos is or that there was a civil war there from 1959 - 1975. And that our side lost......alex

were the grass of the area purposely burned off for better presentation?

Yes, that is one of the reasons. The second reason is that you need to stay in an area that has been cleared of bombs. The bomb markers are stone blocks in the ground and you can only see them when the vegetation is cleared.

I like it how you put hmong music in it Plus I don't know the hell those hmong people were doing takeing all that money at the jar site 1 btw I'm hmong at frist the mom said "dammmmmnn so much money" then started taking the money then her daughter said "mom where are we going next"

When I first entered the cave the whole family left. But, since I stayed in the cave awhile to film they returned and took the money. Thanks for watching.........alex

........ and who " benefits " from this horror ?? RIP poor victims !

The real question is, if wars were a cover for destroying evidence of giants, why did they leave all of these jars intact?

stin stinson I’m guessing what they bombed was destroyed. The jars were probably nothing compared to what they did destroy.

How do we know they are jars?

no problem I love learning about lost history and mysteries.

They didnt drop bombs every 9 mins for 24hrs. It equaled that but that wasnt the way they were dropped.

Yes, that is correct. In the beginning of the film I mention that for those who are interested in what happened in that region that the information is out there if they wished to seek knowledge. Unfortunately, many people will see a film/video and use that as a base of there knowledge without trying to learn more........................alex
