via Phnom Penh Post, 08 June 2022: Some 65 tour guides are undergoing training to update knowledge on recent finds around the Angkor Archaeological Park.
The Apsara National Authority (ANA) is trying to raise awareness of new discoveries made in the last three years in the Angkor Archaeological Park with local tour guides so that they can properly educate and inform foreign visitors about Cambodia’s history and the important work underway there.
ANA spokesman Long Kosal said on June 8 that the ANA has made many new discoveries in the last three years.
He said they have found buried remains of wooden structures nearly 1,000 years old along with a statue related to Brahmanism as part of archaeological excavations at the bottom of a pond north of Angkor Wat.
He added that there was also the discovery of a ceramics kiln dating back to the Angkorian or post-Angkorian period north of the Angkor Thom pottery gate along with statues of Buddha.
Kosal said these discoveries were explained by the ANA to 65 Siem Reap-based Angkor Wat tour guides via a special training course which lasted for 10 days from June 7-16.
