Preserving Cambodia’s rich heritage
With over a million visitors a year, the significance of the Angkor Wat temple complex and its surrounding ancient marvels continues to resonate through time.
The recent excavations aim to “organize and preserve the numerous art objects, highlighting ongoing efforts to protect and understand Cambodia’s rich cultural heritage.”
This marks the project’s second phase, which began in February 2025 and focused on an era outside the laterite enclosure northeast of the temple’s third gallery.
