Watting, Indiana Jones style

Now this is watting I can get behind. Angkor is often compared, by people a lot smarter than me, to the Egyptian pyramids and Jordan’s Petra, two other fantastic displays of ancient civilizations putting slave labor to good use erecting unnecessarily massive palaces and temples. Beginning in the 12th century, Angkor served as the capital city for the Khmer Empire and was apparently home to over a million people which made it the biggest civilization of the time. The most famous is Angkor Wat but my favorite was Ta Prohm as it was jungle-like with the trees growing in/atop the structures. It’s shameful how many pix I took so only a few are below.

Angkor Wat, the granddaddy of Angkor temples

It felt like Christmas



Angkor Thom, famous for 50+ faces eerily similar to king

 






 

Ta Prohm, my fave
