Angkor Wat 吴哥窟

蛙蛙图

Angkor Wat was originally built back in the 12th century as a Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu.  The emperor at the time considered it the capital of his empire, and that’s where it gets its name.  ‘Angkor’ means capital city in the local language, and ‘Wat’ means temple.
Interestingly, it didn’t remain a Hindu-denominated temple for long and within a few decades, it came to be considered a Buddhist site.  Through the years, the temple complex survived multiple sackings, revolutions, and changes – but stood tall throughout because of the aura and significance of the hallowed ground.  In the decades it took to create it, the local people attached a huge amount of meaning and reverence to each section of this massive temple complex.

GNEMOAH.

In the 12th century, King Sujavarman II of Angkor wanted to build a massive grottoes temple on the flat land to serve as the capital and temple of the Angkor dynasty. So it was a national effort and took about 35 years to build. It is the best preserved building of Angkor and is famous for its grand architecture and detailed reliefs.

In 1992, UNESCO listed Angkor as a World Heritage site. Since then, Angkor Wat, as the most important monument of Angkor, has become a bright tourism card of Cambodia

For more than 100 years, countries around the world have invested a lot of money in the maintenance of Angkor Wat to protect this world heritage site. The shape of Angkor Wat has become the national symbol of Cambodia, which is displayed on the national flag of Cambodia.
