Popular Post geovalin Posted May 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2021 Archaeologists of the Apsara Authority have found an ancient underground drainage system, stretching about 80 metres, which is believed to have released water from Angkor Thom to outside the temple complex in Siem Reap province. The ancient drainage system was found during the implementation of a project to improve the walkway, gardens and drainage system in Angkor Thom. The ancient system is parallel to the path situated between the basement of the Elephant Terrace and the east gate of Angkor Thom, according to Apsara Authority. Khiev Chan, Apsara Authority ‘s archaeologists, said the ancient drainage system was built of laterite stone walls and sandstone as its cover. “The ancient drainage was used to release water from the front of the ancient Royal Palace into the system of the main canal from the complex of Angkor Thom temple,” he said. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50855879/ancient-drainage-found-in-angkor-thom/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
