SIEM REAP – Located about 80 km northeast of the city of Siem Reap, depending on the location on the mountain one is going to, Kulen Mountain remains a site still fairly unknown and with a history somewhat incomplete for archaeologists and historians.

Having been the object of less studies compared to the Angkor Archaeological Park over the decades, Mount Kulen remains a place with a great many stories to tell and messages to be deciphered at the site of the former royal palace, the temples, stone shelters and its strange earthworks.

Jean-Baptiste "JB" Chevance, program director of the Archaeology and Development Foundation (ADF), explained during an interview the work he has been conducting on Mount Kulen over the last 25 years or so.

Some of his research has focused on the ancient royal palace and the inscriptions on Mount Kulen. He has also done aerial studies of the mountain using LiDAR.

Getting to Know the Issue of Mobility Poverty in Phnom Penh
