Dong Son cultureThe Dong Son culture or the Lạc Việt culture (named for modern village Đông Sơn, a village in Thanh Hóa, Vietnam) was a Bronze Age culture in ancient Vietnam centred at the Red River Valley of northern Vietnam from 1000 BC until the first century AD. Vietnamese historians attribute the culture to the states of Văn Lang and Âu Lạc. Its influence spread to other parts of Southeast Asia, including Maritime Southeast Asia, from about 1000 BC to 1 BC.
Hùng kingHùng king (2879 BC – 258 BC; Chữ Hán: 雄王; Hùng Vương (雄王) or vua Hùng (𤤰雄); Vương means "king" and vua means "monarch; could mean emperor or king") is the title given to the ancient Vietnamese rulers of the Hồng Bàng period.

The name Hùng Vương might have originally been a title bestowed on a chieftain.
