1 | American Bombs Made It Inaccessible, But Viewing This Historical Site in Laos Is Possible Again Thanks to Drones | Nataon'ny baomban'i Etazonia tsy azo diavina fa azo jerena amin'ny alalan'ny tantelimby indray ny fijerena ity toerana manantantara ity |

4 | New drone footage provides a rare aerial view of the mysterious Plain of Jars in north Laos. | Sary vaovao nalaina tamin'ny tantelimby [drone] manome fijery avy any an'habakabaka tsy fahita firy amin'ny Lohasahan'ny Siny feno misitery ao Laos avaratra. |
5 | The Xieng Khouang province is home to more than 2,000 stone jars that are believed to be 2,000 years old. | Ny faritanin'i Xieng Khouang no itoeran'ny siny vato mihoatra ny 2000 ary inoana ho efa 2000 taona. |
6 | Most scholars think the jars are mortuary urns left behind by an unknown civilization. | Maro ireo mpampianatra mpikaroka fa natao ho vata itoeran'ny maty navelan'ny sivilizasiona tsy fantatra ireo siny ireo. |
7 | The archaeological site is relevant and unique in Southeast Asia, but it remains mostly unexplored because it is littered with unexploded deadly bombs dropped by the Americans during the Vietnam War era. | Misongadina sady tsy manampaharoa io habaka arkeôlôjika io ao Azia Atsimo Atsinanana, saingy mbola tsy voatrandraka satria ilevenan'ireo baomba mahafaty maro tsy nipoaka nalatsaky ny Amerikana nandritra ny adin'i Vietnam. |
8 | Laos, a neighbor of Vietnam, became the most heavily bombed country in the world during the Vietnam War. | Laos, mpifanolotra sisintany amin'i Vietnam, no firenena nodarohana baomba mavesatra indrindra teto ambonin'ny tany nandritra ny adin'i Vietnam. |
9 | An estimated 2 million bombs were dropped on Laos between 1964 to 1973, but about 30 percent failed to detonate. | Tombanana ho eo amin'ny 2 tapitrisa eo ho eo ny baomba nalatsaka tao Laos tanelanelan'ny taona 1964 ka hatramin'ny 1973, saingy tsy nipoaka ny tokony ho 30 isanjaton'ireo. |
10 | These unexploded bombs continue to injure and kill Laotian farmers today. | Mbola mandratra sy mamono ireo Laosiana tantsaha ihany hatramin'izao fotoana izao ireo baomba tsy nipoaka ireo. |
11 | The Plain of Jars is among the many provinces in Laos littered with landmines and bombs, preventing archaeologists from studying the mysterious artifacts. | Ao anatin'ireo faritany maro handrian'ny vanja milevina sy baomba tsy nipoaka ny Lemaky ny Siny, tsy ahafahan'ny arkeôlôgy mandalina ireo asatanana feno misitery ireo. |
12 | The Southeast Asian Archaeology Newsblog explains the importance of the jars and why scientists are unable to conduct a deeper investigation of the archaeological site: | Manazava ny maha zavadehibe ireo siny ireo sy ny tsy ahafahan'ny mpikaroka manao fanadihadiana lalina ao amin'io habaka arkeôlôjika io ny Bolongam-baovao The Southeast Asian Archaeology : |
13 | The mysterious plain of jars in Northeastern Laos is still one of the biggest uninvestigated archaeological sites in Southeast Asia-largely uninvestigated because of the huge amount of cluster bombs dropped there by US forces 40 years ago. | Iray amin'ireo toerana arkeôlôjika lehibe indrindra ao Azia Atsimo Atsinanana tsy mbola voahadihady ny lemaky ny siny feno misitery ao Laos avaratra atsinanana-tsy voahadihady tamin'ny ankapobeny noho ny habetsaky ny baomba nalatsaky ny tafik'i Etazonia tao 40 taona lasa izay. |
14 | From what little that has been investigated, it seems that the jars were places of transition in the funerary rite where bodies were left to decompose before going through a final burial. | Na dia kely aza ny efa voahadihady, dia tahaka ny toerana tetezamita eo amin'ny fombafombam-pandevenana hametrahana ny vatana hihalo eo ireosiny ireo mialoha ny handevenana azy tanteraka. |
15 | Now, however, thanks to advances in technology, drones can bring us aerial footage of a landscape made too dangerous for people. | Ankehitriny, anefa, noho ny fandrosoan'ny teknôlôjia, dia afa-mitondra antsika hijery avy eny an'habakabaka ny lohasaha lasa mampididoza loatra hoan'ny olona ny tantelimby [drone]. |
16 | This three-minute video gives a glimpse of Laos' enigmatic archaeological site. | Manome antsika ny topimason'ny toerana arkeôlôjika feno ankamantatra ity lahatsary maharitra telo minitra. |
17 | The video also shows several bomb craters and trenches-sad relics from the Vietnam War: | Asehon'ny lahatsary ihany koa ny lavaka nateraky ny baomba sy ireo hady iarovan-tena an'ady-navelan'ny adin'i Vietnam : |
18 | Hopefully, this will create more awareness about the jars and lead to better conservation efforts. | Antenaina fa hiteraka fanairana momba ireo siny ireo sy hitarika ho amin'ny ezaka fitehirizana io lahatsary io. |
19 | As scholar Lia Genovese noted, there are several challenges facing efforts to preserve the jars: | Amin'ny maha-mpampianatra mpikaroka an'i Lia Genovese no nanamarihany, fa maro ny fanamby atrehina ho fiarovana ireo siny ireo: |
20 | …conservation efforts are being largely hampered by other factors, such as rapid urbanization, farming activities, looting and neglect. | …voahelingelin'ny singa hafa, toy ny fiitatry ny tanandehibe, ny asam-piompiana sy fambolena, ny fandrobana ary ny tsy firaharahiana ny ezaka fitehirizana |
