1800th Post @ Angkor Thom – video

The Angkor represents the entire range of Khmer temples from the 9th to the 14th centuries,and includes a number of artistic masterpieces. Khmer architecture evolved largely from that of the Indian sub-continent, and later evolved developing its own individual personality. The result was a new artistic horizon in oriental architecture.

The roots hang like over sized Ginseng, there are ancient stones broken in pieces strewn all over the jungle’s floor. One of the most impressive temples of the Angkor complex is Angkor Thom. The visual effects of how nature’s strangler trees have taken control of the massive stones is impressive.

If you have the opportunity to visit Cambodia, go as soon as possible before the masses of tourism destroys the setting of some of the most magnificent jungle temples.
