The Cham people of central Vietnam built a powerful civilization based on seafaring trade that reached its height around the year 1000. In the 1600s, the Kinh people began to absorb the declining Champa kingdom. These crumbled towers in My Son suggest the architectural splendor of the Cham civilization.
