Angkor WatThe significant event that I have chosen to document is the Angkor Wat temple, as it had great significance and importance to the residents of Angkor Wat
The Angkor Wat temple was built in roughly 1113 to 1150. The name Angkor Wat symbolises ‘temple city’. The temple has a central tower that stands at 65 meters tall and is surrounded by 4 smaller towers. This image supposedly recreates the image Mount Meru. The Angkor Wat temple is located in Cambodia and has a estimated population of 1 million at it's peak. Surrounded by a moat 200 meters wide encompassing Angkor Wat. The tower represents the center the nation.

The Production of Angkor Thom.Angkor Thom (Khmer; "Great City"), located in present day Cambodia, was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire.
It was established in the late twelfth century by King Jayavarman VII. It covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city is Jayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north. |
