Archaeology Officer of the APSARA Authority, Kim Seng Pheakdey, said that during the 3 weeks of archaeology excavations to repair the Takav Gate, the team found 3 heads of giant statues and the upper half torso of three other statues. They also found the torsos of 4 Asura statues, heads of 3 statues of deities, of which 2 were complete and 1 only had the shoulders to the lips.
