Fabulous Angkor Wat and Preah Kahn in Cambodia

We had the next three days to explore the ruined city (really a series of cities) built between 9th-13th centuries by Khmer kings and some of the other carved stone temples, sculptures and bas-reliefs scattered over 155 square kilometers.. I really think everyone knows (or has heard) about Angkor but nonetheless:
- Angkor Wat itself was constructed in the mid-12th century, is surrounded by a moat and dedicated to the Hindu God, Vishnu.
- Its form is a massive "temple-mountain." The temple is one of the largest monuments to religion ever built.
- There are about 2,000 Apsara carvings and bas-reliefs depicting historical wars of Suryavarman along with stories and Hindu mythology. The bas-reliefs around the walls of the outer gallery are 2kms/1+ miles long and tell stories of Vishnu and Suryavarman II's successes on the battlefield. My favorite part of Angkor Wat.
