Three Angkorian-era statue heads unearthed in Cambodia

Three Angkorian-era statue heads were found under more than half a metre of soil last week at Banteay Chhmar temple in Banteay Meanchey province.

The massive heads were unearthed between Friday and Sunday during a government-sponsored renovation of the temple, said preservation official Mao Sy.

“Three [heads] were found. Two are intact, but one was broken in the head and mouth,” Sy said, adding that the statues came from the end of the 12th-century reign of Jayavarman VII.

Sy estimated the statues’ heads fell off their bodies several decades ago and were buried by layers of earth brought in by floods. Read more.

Patrick Giang X Grandpa Do & Grandpa Giang

If you didn't know, i never met any of my grandpa's. Just seen pictures and hear different stories of what they used to do back in the day. Plus growing up they were just two statue heads that were in the living room lol.

So since i'll never meet them, i dedicate this picture to both of them! Using their heads is probably the closes thing that i will have when taking a picture together.. Anyways RIP G-Pa's. Hope everything is well.
