A CCNZ representative was interviwed on Cambodias Hang Meas Radio - Live FM104.5 Mhz. On live air at 17.30 by Mr Sam Nob (Production manager) and another radio presenter to congratulate Preah Vihear Temple's status as a UNESCO World Heritage site in the second anniversary (listed on Tuesday 07 July 2008 as a UNESCO’s World Heritage site)
Situated on the edge of a plateau that dominates the plain of Cambodia, the Temple of Preah Vihear is dedicated to Shiva. The Temple is composed of a series of sanctuaries linked by a system of pavements and staircases over an 800 metre long axis and dates back to the first half of the 11th century AD. Nevertheless, its complex history can be traced to the 9th century, when the hermitage was founded. This site is particularly well preserved, mainly due to its remote location. The site is exceptional for the quality of its architecture, which is adapted to the natural environment and the religious function of the temple, as well as for the exceptional quality of its carved stone ornamentation.
