What if we had written records of Philippine history from around 3,000 years ago? Would you be interested to know their story, their thoughts, their experiences? Would you like to hear it in their own words? Philippine 盤 Pan: History of the Dragon and the Vermillion Phoenix, unravels the history inscribed on three bronze ablution water vessels that had been discovered on the Philippine islands. These three 盤 Pan have important Chinese counterparts whose inscriptions may not have been fully understood, due to the lack of the greater historical context of the Austronesian Bird Tribes - the Vermillion Phoenix of the South.
