At the famous Angkor Wat complex in Cambodia, archaeologists have found some of the largest Buddhist statues they’ve seen since the 1930s. Two headless stone statues were found at the Ta Prohm temple site, with the larger of the two standing at an estimated 10 feet (3 meters).
The statues were found by workers for the Archaeological Survey of India, a ten-year, $4 million restoration project. Angkor Wat was previously in a state of decline due to years of civil war.
