by Michelle Vachon | August 8, 2017
The team excavating an 800-year-old site in Angkor Archaeological Park on Monday made a second major find in just two weeks, unearthing for the first time in Cambodia a Medicine Buddha statue that is believed to have stood in the chapel of one of the 102 hospitals built by King Jayavarman VII.
“This truly is a find,” said Tan Boun Suy, deputy director-general of Apsara Authority, which manages Angkor Park in Siem Reap province and is conducting the excavation.
