Angkor Wat


This is just one of the many photo opportunities provided by the ruins within the temple grounds.

Angkor Wat bas reliefs





Angkor watt is famous for the bas reliefs throughout. This example represents a very small part of a huge ‘mural’ depicting various historical and cultural events. From what I could see, the relief has been constructed in several parts and then put into place on the wall.



I don’t know how they made this type but whoever made it must have had a lot of help or was very patient because there were several throughout the temple.
