Angkor Wat Temple Complex | THLC
The Angkor temple complex has over 1,000 temples of different sizes and shapes with bold Khmer architectural style. The famous temples are Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom, the Bayon temple with countless sculptural decorations. The temple architecture is modeled after the great Mount Meru of India, the highest central tower up to 65m represents the legendary Mount Meru, the five surrounding towers correspond to five peaks. The entire structure is built of sandstone and honeycomb stone. All those large blocks of stone were stacked on top of each other without any adhesive or reinforced concrete.
Another extremely important element of Angkor is the irrigation system built through many dynasties. The region's irrigation system relies on large reservoirs. These reservoirs not only help the living of people in the area but also help develop the economic infrastructure of the capital Angkor.
