Ancient boat estimated to be 800 years old.
An ancient boat discovered in March in Siem Reap province’s Angkor Thom district, which until now perplexed scientists over its origin, has been identified as being built more than 800 years ago during the rule of King Jayavarman VII.
Experts at the Apsara Authority, who took possession of the boat in April, said in a report that it was carved out of a large tree. They sent samples of the boat for analysis at a laboratory in New Zealand using radiocarbon dating, a technique used to analyze the age of organic material.
Azedine Bechaouch, a secretary on the science committee of the International Coordinating Committee for the Safeguarding and Development of the Historic Site of Angkor (ICC-Angkor), said the 12.87-meter long boat, discovered during a sand dredging operation, was made in 1207.
