The journey began at 7 a.m. and ended at 1 a.m. A trip that should have taken no longer than 6 hours took 18, and you know what, it was worth it! less

Instead of bricks customary at the time he used sandstone. This temple was to symbolize Mount Meron the home of the Gods. It started out as a Hindu temple and became Buddhist centuries later.
This is the only temple in Angkor that has been in continuous use since its construction in the 12th century.
When the Europeans first saw it they were so overwhelmed they compared its architecture to that of ancient Rome .

Recent Satellite photos have revealed that Angkor spread over 400 square miles making it the largest preindustrial center in the world.
Here are some of the best.
The immense Khmer empire from the 9th to the 15th C century stretched over present day Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam all the way to India. At Angkor it created a sophisticated network of hydraulic canals and rice paddies that supported over a million people and left architectural monuments that are as overwhelming as ancient Egypt.
The ruins of Angkor have been declared a Unesco World Heritage site.
In 1431 enemy armies invaded and sacked Angkor. The population left , the region was abandoned and most of this incredible culture was swallowed up by the jungle.
