Nam Dan ancient stone beach

The Ancient Stone Beach relic is located in Nam Dan village, Nam Dan commune, Xin Man district. According to the local Nung language, "Nam Dan" means water source area. Nam Dan ancient stone field was ranked as a national relic by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism on February 21, 2008. Nam Dan ancient stone field was discovered in 2004 by scientists from the Institute of Archeology and Ha Giang Museum. The ancient stone relic site carved with drawings thousands of years ago is located in a wide valley. Unlike the ancient stone relics in Sa Pa (Lao Cai), Nam Dan ancient stone field is still little known, but the beauty of the drawings and the mysteries surrounding the stones are no less attractive and appealing. coil. These megalithic relics are located between the Tay Dan mountain range and the Nam Dan hill range, right next to the Nam Khoong stream. Many large sedimentary rocks lie along the stream banks with diverse and unique shapes. Some rocks are like a flat chess board, some are like a counter or a chair. On the surface and at the edges of the stone slab, the natural weathering state remains. People in the area call this area Na Lai (field of many words) because on some rocks there are engraved pictures and words. The engravings are very diverse, bringing their own beauty in the visual style of ancient art. In addition to more than 80 engravings and drawings, on the surface of the rock there are also about 80 holes, carved with an average diameter of 5 - 6cm, 1 - 2cm deep, the holes are mainly distributed at the western end of the rock. Each rock is a mystery, associated with thrilling stories bearing the mark of belief, demonstrating the effectiveness of praying to the gods of the ethnic minority people in the region. The stone field includes seven large stone slabs and two megaliths (extremely large rocks) engraved and painted with 79 shapes, including: six square inscriptions, two circular inscriptions, 40 circles, one square, Two rectangles, six chiseled parallel carvings similar to terraced fields, five images symbolizing women's vitality, the rest are human feet with dimensions equivalent to life size, with deeply engraved toes. On the rocks, the figure is in a position with both arms raised and legs spread... According to the village elders in Nam Dan: "There has been a long-standing custom of worshiping stones here, so no one dares to violate those mysterious ancient stones." Along with that, local people have also passed on to each other for many generations the legend that the ancient stone beach is the place where the gods keep "unrevealable heavenly secrets". The drawings on the rocks are considered by the people to be "heavenly temples" and this area is a "holy land" that no one here dares to take lightly. Up to now, in Vietnam, very few traces of prehistoric visual art have been found. According to scientists, the Nam Dan megalithic relic dates back about 2000 years. This may be the grave of a community leader or a sacred ground to worship gods, ancestors and prominent figures of the community. In addition, the Nam Dan megalithic relic is also likely related to the stone god worship of prehistoric residents. It can be said that Nam Dan ancient stone field has special value in culture, history, beliefs and high scientific research value.
