    millennium, the Malay archipelago to a great
    extent is under the influence of Srivijaya. During
    the 2nd and 3rd centuries, approximately 30 Malay

    petroglyphs in Rizal. Both suggest that there was
    a presence of settlement before the Austronesian
    speaking people and the Negritos arrived in the
    country. The Negritos were the earliest settlers
    but their presence in the country has not been
    well documented. Tis were followed by speakers

    arriving in consecutive waves at around 4000 BC
    leading to the displacement of the earlier settlers.

    founded centuries ago when a prince from
    Samatra landed on the island and saw a lion. He
    took it as a good omen and founded a city called
    Singapura, which means Lion City. The legend
    may or may not be true. In fact the name
    Singapura was not recorded until the 16th century

    used iron.

    Vietnam

    Capital of Vietnam: Hanoi


    President (2018): Trân Ðái Quang
    Brief history: The Vietnamese first appeared in
    history as one of many scattered peoples
    living in what is now south China and
    northern Vietnam just before the beginning
    of the Christian era. According to local
    tradition, the small Vietnamese Kingdom of
    Au lac, located in the heart of the Red River
    Valley, was founded by a line of legendary
    kings who had ruled over the ancient
    kingdom of Van Lang four thousands of
    years. Historical evidence to substantiate this
    tradition is scanty, but archaeological
    findings indicate that the early peoples of the
    Red River delta area may have been among
    the first East Asians to practice agriculture,
    and by the 1sth century BC they had achieved
    a relatively advanced level of Bronze Age
    civilization.
