SIEM REAP, Cambodia--A team of specialists led by the president of Tokyo's Sophia University has excavated the severed upper halves of six Buddhist statues from the Angkor ruins in northwestern Cambodia.
The Sophia University Angkor International Mission, headed by university President Yoshiaki Ishizawa, excavated the statues from a circular moat at the ruins of Banteay Kdei temple on Friday.
About 60 centimeters tall, the statues are believed to have been produced in the late 12th or early 13th century.
Ishizawa and his team have worked to repair and preserve the Angkor ruins, a World Heritage Site. They also excavated Buddhist statues there in 2001, a discovery that brought certain historical events to light, including the fact that Buddhism was suppressed across Cambodia after the death in 1219 of Jayavarman VII, the king who constructed the temple.
The latest excavation found the pieces neatly lined up in the circular moat, which a team member said was "evidence that the people of those days did not lose faith [in Buddhism] despite the oppression."

A team of specialists led by the president of Tokyo's Sophia University came to Phnom Penh today to practice group orgy with Khmer women; however, the khmer looks so ugly and nasty. The Japanese rather masturbate instead fucking with the Khmer women

What is wrong with you son?
You need to see a psychiatrist, because only thing you can think of is pussy.
Don’t you ever have some, or perhaps the only sex that you have is through masturbation.

Anet Khmer
Are you crying? ANet Khmet, Hahaha, ye fuck you, you dumb shit
I fully agree with 5:07 AM.
We should sanitize and keep our Site clean of all siem/yuon garbages.
the japanese experts' theory tends to make sense for one of the key contributor in the decline of angkor khmer civilization was the religion change from hinduism to buddhism and back and forth. of course, we can speculate that there were other contributing factors as well to the decline or the beginning of the decline of the angkor khmer civilization of that time. but for sure, we can say that religious upheaval played a major role as well. plus, keep in mind that the khmer god-kings of era were fiercely competitive and warrior-like, like the example of the japanese emporer during world war II. yes, khmer god-kings during the angkor civilization were conquerors, expansionists, competitive, warrior-oriented and super builders of khmer magnificent stone temples as well. thank you japan for contributing to the discovery and learning of the great angkor khmer civilization.
