Cambodia has been tracing back it’s lost glory from various countries. A few years back a French museum returned the head of an antique (Hariharan) which the French had excavated from Takeo and had taken along with them during the French rule in 1886. Thus, the body of Hariharan was detached from the head for 130 years. This reclaim made the antique quiet a crowd puller.
