Angkor Thom

Before I came to Cambodia, I never know there exist a place call Angkor Thom, other than Angkor Wat. Angkor Thom - Great City - was established during the reign of King Jayavarman VII as his capital city of Khmer Empire. King Jayavarman VII was famous for his massive building projects~~ As a Buddhist, these temples built under his reign was all fulled with the influence of Mahayana Buddhism. However, his successor who re-embraced Hinduism took a more drastic action in eliminating Buddhism and its influence by destroying these great temples~ No doubt most of them were already in ruins but great effort was taken to restore all these once upon a time great monument, who witnessed the rise of a great civilization......Most notable of all being the Bayon, Baphuon and Phimeanakas~


Photobucket
Taken infront of the South gate of Angkor Thom




Photobucket
Look at the Buddha face sculpture on the gate~~~




Bayon

Photobucket
The Bayon was Jayavarman VII's state temple~




Photobucket
Kinda wasted that its now in ruin~




Photobucket
Seemingly well preserved structures~




Photobucket
Level and level of archway with great carvings~




Photobucket
Wonder how they made these~~~ Solid stones somemore~




Photobucket
Most of the structures had already collapsed~ Leaving behind all these remains...




Photobucket
Nonetheless still awesome~




Baphuon


Photobucket
A much older temple than the Bayon.....way before the era of Jayavarman VII~




Photobucket
Pyramid concept~ But much of the inner level had already collapsed~ The French was involved in the restoration of this piece of heritage~ However, they gave up in the 90's after consumptions of huge amount of Euros~~~




Photobucket
All these buildings were built without cranes......and they are all solid huge stones~~~~




Photobucket
Freaking tall stairs~




Photobucket
Another ruined pyramid on the tip of Baphuon~




Phimeanakas
