Angkor+Wat

After the Thai people destroyed the city of Angkor, Angkor Wat receded into the jungle, where buddhist monks cared for it. Buddhists monks remained there until it was discovered by the French in 1863. From there, the popularity of Angkor Wat has grown more and more widespread. It is now on the Cambodian flag, and some consider it one of the seven wonders of the world. Angkor Wat is located near the present-day town of Siem Reap, which is 200 miles from Phnom Pehn, the capital of Cambodia. Within the complex, the tower and complex of Ta Prohm has 39 towers, about a third of the total towers. Also, there are 5 main towers. For more information about Angkor Wat, click [|this button].

 * __Angkor Wat__ ** Angkor Wat is found in the dense jungles of Cambodia. It was built in the early 12th century by King Suryavarman II, who was king of the Khmer Empire at the time. Since the Khmer Empire believed in the Hindu religion, Angkor Wat was originally a place to worship Hindu gods. Angkor Wat was in the capital of the Khmer Empire, which was called Angkor. Angkor was the capital of the empire from the 9th to the 15th centuries, and in the 16th century, the Khmer Empire was overrun by the Thai people.
