If it was the real deal, the update unlikely make the news. Like the ancient golden sword/hammer founded in Banteay Chmar a few years ago or the many precious artifacts up on the Kulen mountain all in the name of recollecting lost national treasures, read: Bongthoms' personal collection.
While I am at it, if you plan to visit the Angkor National Museum, save you money! Over 80% of shits in there are replica and each room is similar to another...you are likely be dead bored after 30 mins in.

The temples in siem reap are slowly being destroyed and replaced with fakes too. They call it conservation.
