Nom Temple in the northern province of Hung Yen is recognized by the Vietnam Record Book Center, as the pagoda with the highest number of ancient earth-made statues in Vietnam.
122 statues in this temple are typical evidences for sculptural art of the 10th-13th centuries. The statues are in different poses and show various feelings on their faces.
Despite a lot of floods in history, these statues are still intact. This is a secret for event scientists. The origin of these statues is also a secret.
It is also unclear about the date of construction of this temple.
