via Khmer Times, 20 May 2023: The Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology is assisting in the preservation and restoration of Cambodia’s Angkor ruins, including the Preah Pithu temple and the Terrace of the Elephants. Huge error in the article by saying that the Terrace of Elephants is in Angkor Wat, when it is in fact in Angkor Thom.
The Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology said Thursday it is offering assistance for the preservation and restoration of Cambodia’s Angkor ruins, which include the Preah Pithu temple and the Terrace of the Elephants.
The Terrace of the Elephants, situated within the country’s ancient Buddhist temple complex, Angkor Wat, is a towering elephant sculpture measuring 300 meters in height.
Angkor’s ruins have been grappling with inadequate sewage systems, and the accumulation of thick clay layers has resulted in unpredictable subsidence of various structures during the monsoon season.
