Archaeologists have so far discovered more than 50 ancient structures at Vangchha that could shed more light on the enigmatic Mizoram civilization. Scientists are examining the ancient ruins and they think the entire site could hold traces of a lost city or a greater lost civilization. Fragments of charcoal and pottery have also been collected and sent to specialized laboratories for carbon dating and other scientific analysis.

Ancient burial sites that seemed like water pavilion and terraces were reminiscent of palatial buildings. The retaining walls or terraces were made of big stones and the average height of each terrace ranged from 10 to 25 feet.

As many as nine terraces have been discovered. Their purpose is not entirely clear, but it has been suggested they might have served as burial sites. Researchers also uncovered evidence of what seems to be a water pavilion.

The existence of the ancient structure suggests people living in the area liked their environment and the water pavilion is comparable to those found in Mughal structures.

The entire place is surrounded by forests and hills. In more modern times the region was populated by Scheduled Tribes, although it is one of the more sparsely populated states in India.
