Angkor Wat


IN the Angkorean era, the ancient Khmer Kingdom dominated most of present Southeast Asia from 800 to 1430 AD.
The Angkor complex is the soul of Khmer people [90% of Cambodian population]. Angkor accurately represents Khmer art, great civilization, spiritual heart, national identity, and political power.
The Angkor complex of 200 monuments, which spread over an area of 400 square kilometres. Angkor Wat declared a World Heritage site is the largest famous ancient temple of Cambodia. The Khmer temples were built between 7th and 13th centuries by Khmer kings when the Khmer civilisation was at its height of the extraordinary creativity.  The Angkor architecture serves as the evidence of the strong Khmer religious beliefs – Hinduism and Buddhism.
