Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia is one of the most awe-inspiring things I have ever seen – and for good reason. It is a wonder of the world after all.
Angkor Wat the largest Hindu complex of temples in the world. It was created in the 12th century by hauling multi-ton sandstone boulders from a site at least 25 miles (40km) away. Exactly how still baffles archaeologists, although they believe it involved elephants and transport down the Siem Reap river.
I was absolutely blown away by it. Here’s some photo evidence of why:

Thanks
Amazing shots! I guess it just goes to show you should never underestimate what people will build for faith!
Thank you! And so true. I’m always amazed by ancient places of worship. Amazing architecture almost every time.
Great images. Apparently the temples used to be covered in gold leaf and very brightly painted similar to modern day Hindu temples. Read a great book about what Angkor was like back in the day:
