context_page_description: Sungai Batu is an archaeological site in the Kedah state of Malaysia.
context_section_description: Archaeologists have found remains possibly belonging to the Kedah Kingdom. Among these ruins are the remains of stone buildings and what may be a boat. Remains from the smelting of iron, including a large clay furnace, have also been found. The site covers approximately 1.5 square miles. 
  
  Arthur Demarest of the Vaderbilt Institute of Mesoamerica commented that the city most likely gained power because "any civilization that has iron will win the war because they have efficient tools".
