Archaeologists unearth centuries-old statue in Cambodia’s Angkor temple - The torso remarkably matches a head discovered at the same site nearly a century ago

Archaeologists have unearthed the torso of a centuries-old Buddha statue that matches a head unearthed a century ago at the same site in Cambodia. The centuries-old statue, which is believed to date back to as early as the 12th century, was discovered during an excavation at Ta Prohm temple near the city of Siem Reap last month.

The ANA said that the excavations at Ta Prohm yielded significant archaeological findings, including the body of a Buddha statue.
