There is much hype and interest in archaeological sites and findings in Lembah Bujang, but to the untrained eye, in the absence of guided tours and effective interpretation, all one sees are mounds of scattered bricks, broken clay, and at most the bases of ancient Buddhist stupas or Hindu temples, and some artefacts (in the galleries around the area). Without proper context, the significance of the sites is lost.
