There are three very famous temples mentioned in the movie.
· Angkor Wat
· Bayon
· Ta Prohm
Which temple one do you think looks the most interesting? Why? When were these magnificent temples built? How were they built? Which religion inspired them and which religion replaced the original one? The Cambodian empire was incredibly big and powerful? Why did it fall and the cities get overgrown by the jungle for five hundred years?
Angkor Wat temple looks more interesting for me because it covers the ground and most contain a lot of the monument of the Egyptian pyramids. It is located in Southeast Asia, which was built in an abandoned city in Cambodia and research indicates that it took nearly thirty years to complete and used as a shrine. The temple was due to give up the battle that will bring the end of this temple between the Kingdom of Siam.
