Today we are going inside Siem Reap's ancient temples of the Khmer Empire built from the 9th to 13th Century. We will visit Ta Prohm (made famous in the movie Tomb Raider), Bayon, Angkor Thom, and more.
The first stop is Angkor Thom and Bayon, built in the 12th Century by King Jayavarman VII. The temple of Bayon is one of the most recognizable for having the four sided-faces on the monument. It is flanked by a surrounding moat. Our tour guide explains that the temple was modified from Buddhist to Hindu (by adding the third eye to the Buddha head) and back to Theravada Buddhist.
Next, we visit Ta Prohm which is the filming location for the movie Tomb Raider. It is notable for its atmospheric and jungle scenery, including giant tree roots from over 200-400 year old sacred fig trees engulfing the temple.
Pre Rup is a Hindu temple made of brick and sandstone, notable for its cistern in the center, and towering staircase leading the towering prasats.
Ta Som was built in the later 12th Century. The entrance is through a gate with a face culture on top, and a central temple while contains a Buddha sculpture.
