Ancient Buddha statues found under famous ‘Tomb Raider’ temple in Cambodia. See them

A trove of ancient statues was recently discovered at the famous “Tomb Raider” temple in Cambodia, officials said.

Six sandstone statues were found buried underneath the temple — officially known as Ta Prohm — which is in Angkor Wat, a sprawling temple complex in Siem Reap.

Workers excavated the relics from soil underneath a gate in the temple, according to a Dec. 21 news release from Cambodia’s APSARA National Authority.

Two of the statues depict Buddha surrounded by a Naga, a semi-divine serpentine creature, while another portrays an Avalokiteśvara, a figure in Buddhist legend.

The three other statues, two of which are broken, depict Buddha alone, officials said.

Officials did not say how old the statues were, but the temple itself dates back to the 12th or 13th century, according to Cambodia’s Ministry of Tourism.

It was constructed as a monastery by Jayavarman VII, king of the Khmer Empire, which stretched across a large section of Southeast Asia between the ninth and 15th centuries, according to UNESCO.

The temple was once bustling with life as it was occupied by over 12,000 people, including high priests and dancers.

More recently, it was featured in the 2001 film “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,” starring Angelina Jolie.

The entire Angkor Wat temple complex attracts more than 4 million visitors per year, making it a fixture of Cambodia’s booming tourism business, according to UNESCO.
