Angkor Wat



The temples of Angkor Wat are truly the most amazing archaeological site I have ever come across during all my travels in my life. Been one of the seven wonders of the world, this complex of more than 100 cities and temples are an imposing evidence of what the Kamer empire achieved over one thousand years ago. Not much to say about Si em Reap, the closest city where we spent our nights. However, about the temples, my pictures and memories will have to speak for it self.

I can now understand why even after the horrible atrocities commited by the Kamer Rouge, and the huge genocide of culture and population that occured only 8 years ago, they are still so proud to descent from the Kamer empire. It is clear that the Cambodian empire was the greatest civilization in all the South East Asia, and even possibly in all Asia.
