- Abstract
Phu Nam is a historical entity that existed in the first seven centuries BC and left a tremendous cultural heritage. For many reasons, the history of this kingdom remains full of mysteries. From a new perspective, and in many aspects, Phu Nam is not quite the same as what previous researchers described. For a long time, this kingdom was known only through scattered and sketchy records of ancient Chinese bibliographies. After the discovery of the Oc Eo site by archaeologist Louis Malleret, the history of the Phu Nam kingdom became clearer. However, due to the war, the research was hindered. After 1975, Phu Nam continued to be studied, but mainly in terms of archeology. The first important new points in the scientific understanding of Phu Nam were about the inhabitants of the Phu Nam kingdom; Oc Eo was a culture of indigenous origin with a community speaking a language within the Malayo- Polinesian group. One of the other new features within the Phu Nam studies was the combination of historical literature analysis with geomorphologic and paleoclimatic data. This contributed to explaining why the South of Vietnam was still a relatively deserted land until the 17th century. The new research results show the strong vitality of the Oc Eo culture; although the Phu Nam state collapsed in the seventh century, the material traces in archaeological sites dating back to that period show the continuation of the Oc Eo cultural tradition.
