ALOR SETAR: Two near-perfect statues and an ancient inscription in Pallava have been discovered during an archaeological excavation at the Bukit Choras Archaeological Site in Yan here.
The discovery by the Universiti Sains Malaysia Centre for Global Archaeological Research and the National Heritage Department took place during excavation and research works at the summit of Bukit Choras between Aug 28 and Sept 12.
"The uniqueness of the temple at this archaeological site is firstly how it has been preserved, we can see that the condition of the walls in the north, west and south areas are well-preserved. This collaborative project, initiated following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between NHD and public universities, has brought to light previously hidden treasures.
He said the Bukit Choras Archaeological Site is considered to be special due to its isolated position north of Gunung Jerai, whereas the other archaeological sites in the Bujang Valley are mostly situated south of Gunung Jerai in the areas around Sungai Merbok and Sungai Muda.
