Archaeologists discovered a torso that unexpectedly matched an iconic Buddha head that had been unearthed more than a century ago. Spanning 402 acres, Angkor is recognized as one of the most significant archaeological sites in Southeast Asia.

Archaeologists just solved a century-old mystery at Cambodia’s Angkor Temple Complex. They unearthed the long-lost torso of a Buddha statue from the Khmer Empire, the medieval Hindu-Buddhist civilization that once exerted influence over much of mainland Southeast Asia.
