The temples of Angkor Wat

The temples of Angkor Wat is the biggest tourist attraction in Cambodia, as well as being the largest religious structure in the world. We spent one scorching hot day with a tour guide Rat visiting some of the temples. We visited three different temples, the first one was Angkor Wat, the second temple was Bayon (Gabriel and Louis` favorite temple) and the last temple was Prasat Phnom Rung AKA Tomb Raider because the Hollywood movie with Angelina Jolie (Marek and Rhonda`s favorite).

An outside view of the biggest structure of the Angkor Wat.

This little engraving is an apsara dancer. There are similar engravings scattered about on all the temples.

She has nothing to do with the temples but the fact she was there.  My parents thought she was cute...

AHHHHHHH Stop staring at me. The king that built this temple decided to put 4 faces of budha on every spire, and there are lots and lots of spires.

My parents thought they were enlightened for a moment.

I think that the ancient Cambodian kings knew something about dinosaurs that we didn't. Nobody knows why this dino was carved into stone.

This is the temple were they filmed the movie Tomb Raider. As you can see massive tree roots have completely taken over the temple.

The roots are all about as thick as two men standing side by side and much, much taller.
