In addition, My Son is an example civilisation of Asia that disappeared. According to statistics, the Cham people built My Son in the 4th century. In many centuries, My Son had been added a lot more Hindu temples and became a main relic site of Cham culture in Vietnam. In addition to the function of ceremonial offering site, My Son also became a cultural and religous center for many Cham dynaties and burial place for Cham kings and priests.

More importantly, My Son had both Indian architectural and cultural influences. Thus, depending on ancient texts described on stele, people said that My Son ever had a wooden temple in the 4th century. So, the technique of building temples in My Son has been mysterious for many years and centuries. So far, people have not known the exact material to glue bricks and method to bake bricks of the Cham people.

Today, My Son has a total of 70 temples and had been built from 7th to 13th century. The main temples in My Son were used to worship a set of linga or statue of Shiva, God of protector for the Cham people.  So, the god who is worshipped in My Son is Bhadresvara, the founder of Amaravati in late 4th century combined with Shiva god becoming a main belief of the people.
