Hey guys, today we are going to take another look at Angkor Wat Temple in Cambodia. We always hear that Angkor Wat is the largest temple in the world, but the real mystery is not that it is the biggest, the real mystery is that also has the smallest carvings in the world. For example, if you look at this pillar, you see that there are carvings which completely cover the entire pillar, but you cannot understand them unless you take a closer look. Because these carvings are very tiny.
And here are carvings of various animals, but look at the details of these carvings, they are so small. For example look at this deer you can even see its eyes, and its mouth opening, this is only a millimeter long. You can see that the entire column is full of these strange little carvings. It must have been quite a task to carve such micro carvings all over this column. But are these tiny carvings found only on this one column?
I start examining the columns one by one, and it is interesting, because each and every column is covered with these micro carvings. Here you can see two birds kissing, in another column you can see a similar depiction where 2 birds are fighting each other. Again, the details are in millimeters, you can see the bird's eyes, its head plume or topknot, You can see its wings wide stretched and even its tail, and also the legs, complete with talons. All this is carved in an inch or two, and repeated with perfection to create an insane matrix on the pillar. There are columns which show apes doing various activities, there are micro carvings which show many other interesting patterns which completely fill up the entire facets of the columns. You may not believe this, but every column I look at, is covered with these carvings. This is insane because today, there are a total of 1532 columns in Angkor Wat temple, and all of them have these carvings, and there are also many columns destroyed, and lying on the ground, and they are also covered with Microcarvings. Here is another fascinating detail on the columns, even if they carved deities, they covered the rest of the column with microcarvings, they carved flowers, leaves, and they never left any space empty. Forget about building the largest temple in the world, imagine the task of carving every inch on every column of this temple.
But are these carvings found only columns? As I start getting fascinated by these microcarvings, I realize that they stretch beyond the columns, they also stretch above, on top as well, if you look at the top beam, even that has these tiny carvings. This is weird, so I start looking around at the walls. And I am shocked, look at the walls. Everything is filled with these carvings. Zoom in and you will see various types of flowers, leaves, creepers, ornamental hangings. It is crazy even to say this, but this is what I am saying: Every inch of the world's largest temple is covered with carvings. You cannot even find one inch in this entire temple that is blank, that is not carved. So imagine building a temple that stretches for 400 acres and filling every inch with tiny little carvings. This would have been a monumental task. But did they really carve every inch of it?
