A church in the Chaiya region has been found with an old rock that researchers believe dates back to the time of the Srivijaya Kingdom.

A story tour group that was on Tuesday visiting Wat Palilaik in tambon Lamet of the Chaiya city discovered the aberration. The discovery was made by the journey group’s Chaowalit Rodjanarat, city key. They said the sand may be over 1, 000 years older, and has wonderful decorations. Finally, in response to Mr. Chaowalit, he requested that the anachronism be examined at the place where it was discovered by Chaiya National Museum Chairman Kitti Chinjoreontham and Wat Rattanaram church bishop Phra Achan Mahathongchai.

Mr. Kitti confirmed that the sandstone was undoubtedly an old material that could have been produced between the 13th and 14th centuries Become or around the Srivijaya Kingdom’s end.

He claimed that the area’s former home may be the site of a monument of the Hindu god Narayana.

He claimed that the sculptures resemble those found in ancient Khmer fortresses. He continued, adding that the product is being kept at Wat Rattanaram while researchers from the Fine Arts Department examine it.
