via Khmer Times, 27 September 2023: The APSARA National Authority’s Department of Conservation of Monuments and Preventive Archaeology is actively restoring the Naga balustrades at Angkor Wat’s southern ground floor.
Archaeologist of the Department of Temple Preservation and Archaeology, Say Sophearin, said that the restoration work has now been completed to strengthen the foundation of the stairs and the foundation of the Naga balustrades, which collapsed due to water flow.
At the same time, the team also excavated the ground and restored the ancient water release system to prevent water from seeping through the stone gaps, which further weakened the foundation.
