公元1000纪期间,在我称之为核心大陆地区的东南亚:沿着湄公河下游、伊洛瓦底江并尤其是湄公河下游盆地形成了一些最早的土著国家。国家的形成与该地区历史学家所称的“印度化”在时间上一致。据这些历史学家所言(对这些国家的研究大部分是由历史学家而非考古学家进行的),这些国家带有许多令人感兴趣的特征。 During the 1,000th century, in what I call the core continent of Southeast Asia, some of the earliest indigenous nations were formed along the Lower Mekong, the Irrawaddy, and especially the Lower Mekong. The formation of the state coincides with the time being called “Indo-Chinese” by historians in the region. According to these historians (most of the research on these countries was done by historians rather than archeologists), there are many interesting features in these countries.
