via Phnom Penh Post, 15 March 2021: Ancient staircase found in Phnom Penh near where a lion statue was discovered last year.
Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC) mine clearance experts have uncovered part of an ancient staircase, which is just over 30m away from a site where a lion statue was previously found.
The stairs were discovered during construction of an underground reservoir supported by the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The site is in front of the Council for the Development of Cambodia in Phnom Penh’s Daun Penh district near Wat Phnom.
CMAC director-general Heng Ratana told The Post on March 14 that CMAC experts working with JICA on Phnom Pehn’s sewerage system development project came across the staircase on March 11.
