The ancient capital of Vietnam through the eyes of modern scholars

The review examines the book “Discovering Vietnam’s Ancient Capital. The Archaeology and History of the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long–Hanoi”, published in 2024 in Singapore. The discovery at the beginning of the XXI century and further archaeological excavations of the Thang Long citadel in Hanoi became one of the most important stages in the study of the history and culture of Vietnam. Vietnamese and foreign experts in various fields of humanitarian studies – history and archaeology, chronology and reconstruction of the historical past – participated in the preparation of this monograph.
