We just received the following "good news" from a team of archeologists in Cambodian led by Mr. An Sopheap who unearthed a massive monolith Buddha statue in Ta Prom temple. The following photos showed the tree roots where the statue was recovered last Friday (21 October 2011). The Angkor-era statue could possibly be slightly larger than the one in Bayon temple.
In his closing message, Mr. An Sopheap wrote: "My team are planning to extend the excavation trench after rainning season and try to find it original location, it can be in the middle of dancing Hall????".
Congratulations to Lok An Sopheap and team for this important discovery!
Thank you,

I suspect hundreds more of similar artifacts still lie buried somewhere waiting to be unearthed.
With every such discovery, the Great Khmer civilisation of the past is brought back to life!
