Lembah Bujang Archaeological Museum - Department of Museums Malaysia Official WebsiteI had the opportunity to visit Bujang Valley in the state of Kedah. Interestingly, though I had heard about the place earlier, it was never on my priority list of places to visit.Great Asian Railways,

It was a journey by train until Sungai Petani railway station and then by car to the ruins of the Bujang Valley Archaeological Museum. It was there I became fascinated with the history of the place. We also have very few written or factual evidences from that period through which we can comment with certainty on the history or what exactly happened during those times.

While the base of those temple houses were made up of stones, pillars and roofs etc, they were most likely made from wood and hence lost over time leaving the base structure for us to study and understand the civilisation.Evidence supports the claim that the region was in maritime trade relations with India and China.

The high archaeological and historical value of the place is undeniable and Malaysians should be proud of such a heritage, something they can enjoy generation after generation with pride.
