Good thing they were buried, or they would have been stolen.

Or, the big ones the thieves just steal the heads as they couldn’t carry or move the large stone carved statues.

I spent several days there. The place is really big. More like a large village of temples.

The monkeys are a pain as they are constantly begging and if uou have nothing for them they can get nasty. These are big monkeys, about three feet high.
