  • 3D Angkor Wat
    3D ANGKOR WAT SINGAPORE - SIEM REAP (NO MEALS) DAY 1: Arrive at Siem Reap International Airport and transfer to the hotel In the morning, visit the ancient capital of Angkor Thom (12th century). See the South Gate with its huge statues depicting the churning of the ocean of milk, Bayon temple (unique for its 54 towers decorated with over 200 smiling faces of Avolokitesvara), Baphuon (recently re- opened after years of restoration), the Royal Enclosure, Phimeanakas, the Elephants Terrace, the Terrace of the Leper King. In the afternoon, visit Prasat Kravan with its unique brick sculptures and Srah Srang (“The Royal Baths”), undoubtedly used in the past for ritual bathing. Then visit the most famous of all the temples on the plain of Angkor: Angkor Wat. The temple complex covers 81 hectares and is comparable in size to the Imperial Palace in Beijing. Its distinctive five towers are emblazoned on the Cambodian flag and the 12th century masterpiece is considered by art historians to be the prime example of classical Khmer art and architecture. Angkor Wat’s five towers symbolize Meru’s five peaks - the enclosed wall represents the mountains at the edge of the world and the surrounding moat, the ocean beyond. Sunset at Angkor Wat. Overnight at the hotel. SIEM REAP (B) DAY 2: Breakfast at hotel. Continue to Banteay Srei temple (10th century), regarded as the jewel in the crown of classical Khmer art. Stop at a local village to visit families who are producing palm sugar. Visit Banteay Samre, one of the most complete complexes at Angkor due to restoration using the method of “anastylosis”.

  • Expedition to the South
    Expedition to the South Day 1: Arrival in Phnom Penh Commence your tour this morning with a journey south of Phnom Penh to Tonle Bati, a small lake with a beach and two impressive Angkorian laterite temples from the late 12th century, Ta Prohm and Yeay Peau. Explore the jungle-clad and atmospheric Ta Prohm, a temple built by King Jayavarman VII (who ruled from 1181 to 1201). Visit Phnom Chisor, a temple perched atop a hill and constructed of laterite and brick with carved lintels of sandstone. The inscriptions found here date back to the 11th century and the wooden doors to the sanctuary are decorated with intricate carvings. Continue to Angkor Borei, a 6th century monument built in laterite by King Rudravarman of Funan. His patron deity was Vishnu and many Hindu statues survive from this site. It is one of the few remaining sites with traces of the Kingdom of Funan (a kingdom influenced by India and thought to have spread as far as southern Burma and Indonesia). Next, head to a hill south of Angkor Borei, Phnom Da, which houses four artificial caves, built as shrines. At the completion of this visit you will be returned to your hotel for the evening at leisure. Day 2: Kep / Includes Breakfast Enjoy an early breakfast at your hotel this morning and depart for Kampot province. There are varieties of caves around Kampot, which is worth exploring and limestone mountains (phnom) dot the landscape between Kampot and Kep. Many contain limestone caves, some adorned with exotic rock formations, and almost all containing Buddhist shines.

  • ARCHITECTURE in the REIGN of JAYAVARMAN VII Even During the Reign of Suryavarman II There Was a Brief Attempt to Lay out The
    CHAPTER SEVEN ARCHITECTURE IN THE REIGN OF JAYAVARMAN VII Even during the reign of Suryavarman II there was a brief attempt to lay out the kingdom in a particular fashion with the creation of rest-houses (Chau Say Tevoda and Prasat Chrei, for example), but it was during the reign ofJayavarman VII that the desire to rear­ range the entire kingdom became significant and the ruler went some way towards achieving it. In 1181, when J ayavarman VII was crowned king, the Angkore­ an kingdom lay devastated by the war against the Cham, and, ini­ tially, the king could only take up residence close to Angkor in a temporary city,Jayasri, "the city of victory", which is associated with a baray1, known as the northern baray or Neak Pean. The city rampart, a solid laterite wall, is decorated with huge garudas (6 m high) carved in sandstone facing. This Vishnuite motif, for the garuda is the mount of the god Vishnu 2, probably evokes the victory of the king over the Cham, but it is also linked with the myth of the churning of the sea milk which is shown on both sides of the access path; on one side of the dyke which crosses the surrounding moat are the gods and on the other the demons who united in order to rediscover the liquor of immortality. When the work on the new city of Angkor Thom was sufficiently advanced, the king left Jayasri to take up residence in the new palace in Angkor Thom, and his earlier pro- 1 It is possible that this first installation occurred before the conversion of the king to the Buddhism.

  • A STUDY of the NAMES of MONUMENTS in ANGKOR (Cambodia)
    A STUDY OF THE NAMES OF MONUMENTS IN ANGKOR (Cambodia) NHIM Sotheavin Sophia Asia Center for Research and Human Development, Sophia University Introduction This article aims at clarifying the concept of Khmer culture by specifically explaining the meanings of the names of the monuments in Angkor, names that have existed within the Khmer cultural community.1 Many works on Angkor history have been researched in different fields, such as the evolution of arts and architecture, through a systematic analysis of monuments and archaeological excavation analysis, and the most crucial are based on Cambodian epigraphy. My work however is meant to shed light on Angkor cultural history by studying the names of the monuments, and I intend to do so by searching for the original names that are found in ancient and middle period inscriptions, as well as those appearing in the oral tradition. This study also seeks to undertake a thorough verification of the condition and shape of the monuments, as well as the mode of affixation of names for them by the local inhabitants. I also wish to focus on certain crucial errors, as well as the insufficiency of earlier studies on the subject. To begin with, the books written in foreign languages often have mistakes in the vocabulary involved in the etymology of Khmer temples. Some researchers are not very familiar with the Khmer language, and besides, they might not have visited the site very often, or possibly also they did not pay too much attention to the oral tradition related to these ruins, a tradition that might be known to the village elders.

  • Old Myths and New Approaches: Interpreting Ancient Religious Sites in Southeast Asia
    218 | Old Myths and New Approaches Chapter 13 Through the visualisation lens Temple models and simulated context in a virtual Angkor Tom Chandler Lecturer, Faculty of Information Technology, Monash University Martin Polkinghorne Honorary Associate, Asian Studies Program, The University of Sydney In recent years, the shift away from the temple-centric approach of Angkorian studies has become well known (Evans et al 2007; Fletcher et al 2008; Pottier 1999). However, in the short history of the three-dimensional (3D) computer modelling of Angkor, there have been many studies of temple models (Cerezales 1997; CyArk 2006; FOKCI 2007; Visnovcova, Zhang and Gruen 2001; Kenderdine 2004; 3DreamTeam/Vizerra 2008–10; Levy 2001a; 2001b), but little consideration of the environment around the monuments. While the architectural drawing and scale modelling of Angkorian temples has a long history (see Dumarçay 1971a and b; Dumarçay and Courbin 1988; Nafilyan 1969), the modelling of these structures in the virtual world has so far followed a tradition of appraising the temples as isolated exhibition pieces and symbolic artefacts. It is argued that the narrow focus of such studies misses great opportunities in harnessing the power of the medium of 3D visualisation. This study seeks to introduce the space between the temples and to produce the simulated historical, cultural and ecological landscapes that once sur- rounded them. The future of virtual Angkor can now move beyond digital reconstructions that are defined in only architectural terms. Knowledge about the landscape around the temples has until very recently received significantly less attention. 3D visualising of landscapes cannot reference the relative certainty of the interlocking stone assemblages but must deal with the Through the visualisation lens | 219 large, unexcavated (and therefore apparently empty) spaces where the door is open to considerable conjecture.
