Abstract: The reconstruction of the Vihara of Wat Pra Yeun in Lamphun, Thailand, has been keeping the main instrument for adjusting the “Suvannaphum Lunar Calendar” to the solar year in almost perfect condition (see Figure 1). The Vihara is the most ancient one of its kind in Suvannaphum (South East Asia) and is older than Angkor Wat by almost 500 years. Fifteen thousand years earlier, a long-forgotten race had domesticated plants and established humanity’s first agricultural civilization in this region called “Suvannaphum”, which is now also called “The Rice Bowl of the World”.
