 * __The Five Grand Towers of Angkor Wat__** Of the 108 towers in Angkor Wat, there are five that stand out from the rest. There are 108 towers because 72 divided by two=36, and 72+36=108. The number 108 is a holy number in both the Hindu and Buddhist religion. The five towers represent the five peaks of mythical Mount Meru. This mountain was the center of the Hindu universe and it was the home of the Hindu Gods. The main central tower is where the gods lived in the Buddhist religion during there occupation after the end of the Khmer Empire.
