Woman finds "treasure", and then what happens ?

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

WTF. I'm even more confused now. So, JSP has a username and password, which if entered on our site will block you from our site, lol?? Am I reading this right? Can someone else test this nutty theory, as the fuck if I want dirty JSP's 'wannacry' password.

:o
No, the lurker we managed to drag into posting his third ever post was taking this piss by posting a standard 404 message.lol

This is how I think it was done
When a user logs in he can be directed to several places which I presume are http/s addresses.
Eg normally after login the user will be directed back to the main forum/ index page. Or , if your BKtrapper for instance, he will be directed to the mod preview page.
All it would need a mid to do is create a page that looks like the one I posted, basically a blank page and direct a user there instead of the forum page of the site (where everyone normally logs in to).
He would still be logged in, but would not see anything but the blank page. :hattip:
If you wanted to change it back, all you'd need do is change it back to the normal home page address.
that wasnt a lurker it was one of my tapatalk accounts mate
also, according to this, you have been online tonight

Wow, that's classic. Logged in here and as JSP, all on the same tablet. Lol.
Oh well, glad someone seems me worthy enough to be even bothered. Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it infamy! :crazy:
i posted this above, its how i got rid of that page you kept getting
go into your settings > more tools > Clear browsing data > make sure [Cookies and other site and plug in data] is ticked then click clear,
then you should be able to go to the sign in page again,
Yeah, I did that yesterday a few times and this morning as well.
Anyhow, thanks for all your help Jamie. If I get back in cool, if I don't it's cool too.
See crook!!!

Another unearthing in Siem Reap, a day or two ago, arguably more remarkable.
Woman digging for root vegetables (sweet potatoes, yams?) with a hoe hit something hard, did a bit of amateur archaeology, and dug up a (pretty intact) Naga Buddha statue.

What happened next? After showing her friends she called The Apsara Authority and asked them to take it and care for it. They kindly gave her a million.

(Not seen this reported online yet, but is front page of Nokor Thom Daily today)

Here are better pictures of the Naga Buddha statue that was discovered on the fourth of July:

Really is a beautiful, serne, nearly perfect statue. Bayon period: late 12th or early 13th century.

...But also, and maybe even more impressive according to the article https://goo.gl/YwkfhV:

This elegant deity was found by a 14 year old girl, one side exposed from the earth in a rice field near to a mound of earth.
Pre-Angkorian 11th century sandstone statue. Found yesterday the 5th of July.
The villagers have asked to keep it in the area, the department of antiquities have asked the authorities to guard it closely whilst a compromise is met.

2 phenomenal finds on the 20th anniversary of the 5th of July 1997 coup, and near to the 1 year anniversary of the assassination of Kem Ley.

Not sure if this is talking about the same Naga Buddha statue that Rama posted above ? There seem to have been a lot of finds recently, but it was also found on 4 July so must be the same one.
And yeah, "they gave her a million"(riel) sounds a lot more generous than US$250. :wink:
12th century statue moved to museum
Friday, 07 July 2017

A Buddha statue from the 12th century discovered this week in Siem Reap province has been placed in the Preah Sihanouk-Angkor museum, the Apsara Authority said yesterday.
Farmers in Svay Leu district’s Kantouth commune first discovered the statue on Tuesday and then notified the Apsara Authority.

Dr. Chhean Ratha, acting director of the department of conservation of monuments at Angkor Park, first took possession of the statue before handing it off to the Apsara Authority.
“Apsara Authority officials brought the statue to keep in the museum because the public can visit it there and research about this statue’s history,” he said. “We have assured our Cambodian people that all ancient statues discovered will be kept in museums for safe-keeping and everyone to see.”

Dr Ratha said his department plans to do more research on the relic to uncover more specific details of its history.

Dr. Ratha also appealed to others who discover relics to notify authorities as the Kantouth commune famers did in order to protect the nation’s heritage and avoid illegal trafficking.

Chhoam Kunthea, director of the Preah Sihanouk-Angkor museum, said that this is the third time villagers who live outside Angkor Park found an ancient statue and offered it to the Apsara Authority to keep in the museum.

The Apsara Authority provided about $250 to the famers who discovered the statue.

In this case, what happens is this:
Villagers have said that they want to keep "their" statue in the local pagoda so they can worship it in traditional ceremonies, they refuse to hand it over to officials, and they are sleeping next to the statue to keep it safe.

A group of villagers in Kampong Chhnang province are refusing to relinquish an ancient statue recently discovered in Kampong Leaeng District, arguing it should remain in their local pagoda and not with the government’s culture ministry.

Sok Thoun, director of the Kampong Chhnang provincial Culture and Fine Arts Department, said yesterday that a girl in Da commune discovered the 11th-century statue last Tuesday in a rice field.

“My colleagues and I, as well as the local authorities, went to explain to the villagers that this ancient statue could not be kept as private property, but they still refused to hand it over,” Mr Thoun said. “Ministry of Culture and Interior Ministry heritage representatives went to explain more, but they still refused to hand it over to the police.”

Mr Thoun said the people argue it is not being kept as private property. Rather, it has been placed in Prasat pagoda within the commune where it was discovered, so that villagers can visit it and worship...
