The ancient capital of Vietnam through the eyes of modern scholars

Archaeological excavations of the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long in Hanoi, initiated at the turn of the 21st century, have significantly advanced the understanding of Vietnam's ancient capital. The 2024 monograph 'Discovering Vietnam’s Ancient Capital' synthesizes findings from Vietnamese and international experts across history, archaeology, chronology, and historical reconstruction. This collaborative effort has uncovered critical insights into the citadel's structure, cultural significance, and historical evolution, providing a comprehensive framework for studying Thang Long's role in Vietnam's imperial past.
