Angkor Wat - Cambodia

Angkor Wat, located in Siem Reap, Cambodia, was founded in the 12th century Angkor Dynasty. It is the largest temple in the world and the earliest Khmer-style building in the world. The original name of Angkor Wat was Vrah Vishnulok, It means "Vishnu's temple".

On the walls of the temples of Angkor Wat, carved reliefs are carved, surrounded by a long corridor that connects various temples, pagodas, and stairs. The Khmer-style architecture is exquisite and unusual. When I went there to see them, I could n't help but feel shocked by this. That 's why there are folk legends that the temple of Angkor was not built by mortals, but by the creation of the god Intra.

Today, the Angkor monuments displayed before us are all buildings in the heyday of the Angkor Dynasty in Cambodia. However, the Angkor civilization suddenly disappeared in the early 15th century, covered by wild grass and trees, and was not discovered again until the 19th century According to textual research, over 1 million people were living in the Angkor area at that time. Later, why these people and this ethnic group went away, it is still an unsolvable mystery.
