Summary of Funan Kingdom.
Kingdom of Funan (Chinese: 扶南; pinyin: Fúnán; Vietnamese: Phù
Nam; Khmer នគរភ្នំ Nokor Phnom), was the Chinese name of an
ancient kingdom located around the Mekong Delta of southern Vietnam and in
southern Indochina. The name is found in Chinese historical texts describing
the kingdom, and the most extensive descriptions are largely based on the
report of two Chinese diplomats representing the Wu Kingdom of Nanking who
sojourned in Funan in the mid-3rd century A.D.; however, the name Funan is not
found in any texts of local origin, and it is not known what name the people of
Funan gave to their country.
