🔆Angkor Wat
✅It is the largest religious monument in the world.
✅It covers an area of 200 acres
✅It was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman IIin the first half of the 12th century, around the year 1110-1150, making Angkor Wat almost 900 years old.
✅It was originally dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu before becoming a Buddhist temple by the end of the 12th century.
✅In 1992, the temple complex was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site
Features:
✅The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture.
Sandstone blocks were used to build the structure.
✅The precision in carving and the fitting together of stones without the use of mortar is a testament to the engineering skills of the Khymer builders, and the technique used is yet to be ascertained correctly, though a section claims it to be wooden paste or a lime plaster mix.
✅It is protected by a 15-foot-high wall and a wide moat.
✅The temple can be accessed only via small bridges spanning across the moat from the eastern and western sides.
