Lost legs found
By The Crier | September 30th, 2009 | Category: Archaeology, Articles | No Comments »In 1925, the top part of a sandstone carving of the Buddhist deity Hevajra was discovered by French archaeologists near Angkor Thom, the walled city of King Jayavarman VII. This summer, a British archaeologist seeking the site of the discovery found the legs of the 12th-century statue. Scientists are excited by the prospect of further discoveries, and hope the legs will be reunited with the bust, which is currently on display in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
