Ancient Gold Rings Reveal Thai Iron Age Secrets | Global News
Description
Archaeologists in Thailand’s Phetchaburi province made a jaw-dropping discovery at the Don Yai Thong site—two 2,000-year-old gold rings unearthed with human remains. One ring bears ancient Bhrami script, translating to “the one protected by Pushya,” a revered astrological sign, hinting at elite status. The other is plain gold. Experts believe the wearer may have been a Vaishya caste merchant from ancient India, buried with gold, bronze, and pottery in a lavish Iron Age tomb dating back 1,500–2,500 years. Eight skeletons have been found since February, and the dig will wrap in a month—after which, the treasures will go on public display to reveal a lost world of luxury and mystery.
