HERITAGE ON SALE

The theft and destruction of Cambodian artifacts is massive. Reporters come across a man in the jungle selling green ceramic bowls. “They were 1,000-years old and from a kiln on top of the mountain. The seller wanted 10,000 riels for each bowl – a mere $2.50. We asked the seller whether he was afraid of breaking the law, and he said he didn’t know there was any law. He had just dug them up in the jungle.” – Time Asia
