Hang on a second, turns out it wasn't a dodgy sand miner who found it several meters deep and reluctantly notified authorities. That shit was a mistake.

The truth is: "A farmer discovered the boat in April while digging mud from the riverbed."

And in a statement that's sure to please archaeologists and mathematicians alike, we can conclude that an 800-year-old carbon date on a dugout canoe means that a "Huge 8th century boat has been found".

The competent authorities remain unperturbed.

The vessel, currently submerged in a baray at Angkor Wat, is set to be displayed for tourists – either in a museum or as part of a travelling exhibition, but Kosal stressed it was crucial the boat was “wholly preserved”.

Think the North Korean museum will get it?
