Cambodia temple ruins yield treasure
|
|
|
|
Workers clearing dense jungle near the ruins of an ancient pagoda in
|
|
northern Cambodia have unearthed 31 Buddha statues - 27 of them solid gold.
|
|
The statues - which are 10 centimetres (4 inches) tall - are in good
|
|
condition and believed to be hundreds of years old.
|
|
They were found on Saturday as workers were rebuilding the Po Pich temple
|
|
about 100 km (65miles) north of the capital, Phnom Penh.
|
|
The pagoda, in the Batay district of Kampong Thom province, was torn down
|
|
during the reign of the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s and the area became
|
|
overgrown.
|
|
Community care
|
|
Deputy police chief of Kampong Thom province, Hang Sithim, said the statues
|
|
- three of which were silver and one bronze - were buried in about one metre
|
|
(3.4ft) of earth and each weigh around 500 grams (1lb).
|
|
''I think that these Buddha statues had been buried hundreds of years ago,
|
|
when the last temple was fully operating," Mr Hang Sithim said.
|
|
Provincial authorities initially planned to take the statues to a nearby
|
|
town for safekeeping, but opted to allow the Buddhist community at the
|
|
temple to take care of them.
|
|
''We believe they are safe there,'' said Som Somphat, deputy governor of
|
|
Kampong Thom province.
|
|
''The people of Po Pich pledged to treat them with respect and honour.''
|
|
Reign of terror
|
|
A police guard has been placed around the site to protect it from looters.
|
|
The Khmer Rouge waged civil war in Cambodia between 1970 and 1998 and
|
|
controlled the country between 1975 and 1979.
|
|
The regime outlawed religion and destroyed many objects regarded as decadent
|
|
or culturally impure.
|
|
About two million people died in the Khmer Rouge's drive to turn Cambodia
|
|
into a farmers' utopia.
