As we were walking toward Angkor Wat on the causeway, the statement "the mother of all temples" became evident. Its believed to be the largest religious building in the world. It's the best preserved of the numerous temples in the area and visited by 2.5 million people annually. In the 12th century it took 300,000 workers, 40 years to complete. It was part of a city that at the time had a million inhabitants as compared to London which had 50,000.
Why go in through through the main entrance when you can crawl in through a window?
The temple is famous for its beguiling heavenly nymphs apsaras; more than 3,000 unique apsaras are carved into the walls and there are 37 different hairstyles.
Interior courtyard with an empty pool.
