Explore the long abandoned ruins of Beng Mealea, still strangled by the overgrown jungle. A further 1-hour drive brings you to Koh Ker, situated in the northeast of Siem Reap. Discover the long abandoned temples in the forests of northern Cambodia. Also known as Chok Gargyar, it served as the capital of Jayavarman IV (reigned 928-42). His son and successor Harshavarman I moved the capital back to Angkor in 944. There are a remarkable number of religious buildings in the Koh Ker region, considering the short space of time that it was the capital of the empire. There are more than 30 major structures and experts believe there may have been as many as 100 minor sacred buildings in the region. It was also a prolific period for gigantic sculpture and several of the most impressive pieces in the National Museum in Phnom Penh come from Koh Ker, including a huge garuda (half-man, half-bird creature). Lunch at local restaurant in front of the temple. Continue to Sro Em (1.5 hrs,100 km) where you can visit the local museum or enjoy the swimming pool at your hotel. Dinner and accommodation at Preah Vihear Boutique Hotel Day 2 : SRO EM - PREAH VIHEAR - ANLONG VENG - SIEM REAP (B/L/-) Breakfast at hotel. This morning drive further north to Preah Vihear (25km). At the foot of the mountain, change to a pickup truck which will bring you to the mountain top to the most breathtaking temple of Prasat Preah Vihear. The temple, an important pilgrim place during the Angkorian period, was built by a succession of seven Khmer Monarchs. Like other mountain temples, it was designed to represent Mount Meru and was dedicated to the Hindu God Shiva. Breath in the astounding views from the cliff stretches as far as the eye can see. Drive about 1 hr 20 min (80km) to Anlong Veng. Lunch in a local restaurant. For almost a decade this was the ultimate stronghold: home to Pol Pot and other notorious Khmer Rouge leaders. For those with an interest in contemporary Cambodian history and human beings capacity for evil, the area's Khmer Rouge sites are an important part of the picture.

  • Along the Royal Roads to Angkor
    Chapter Four The Royal Roads of King Jayavarman VII and its Architectural Remains 4.1 King Jayavarman VII’s Royal Roads 4.1.1 General Information Jayavarman VII’s Royal Roads was believed (by many scholars) to be built in the era of Jayavarman VII who ruled Khmer empire between AD 1812 – 1218. The road network not only cover the area of the modern-day Cambodia but also the large areas of the present Laos, Thailand and Vietnam that were under the control of the empire as well. As demonstrated by Ooi Keat Gin in Southeast Asia: A Historical Encyclopeida from Angkor Wat to East Timor Volume Two; highways were built—straight, stone-paved roads running across hundreds of kilometers, raised above the flood level, with stone bridges across rivers and lined with rest houses every 15 kilometers. Parts of some roads are still visible, even serving as the bed for modern roads. From the capital city, Angkor, there were at least two roads to the east and two to the west. One of the latter ran across the Dangrek Mountains to Phimai and another went due west toward Sisophon, which means toward the only lowland pass from Cambodia into eastern Thailand in the direction of Lopburi or Ayutthaya. Toward the east, one road has been traced almost to the Mekong, and according to an inscription in which these roads are described, it may continue as far as the capital of Champa1 1 Ooi. (2004).

  • Destination: Angkor Archaeological Park the Complete Temple Guide
    Destination: Angkor Archaeological Park The Complete Temple Guide 1 The Temples of Angkor Ak Yom The earliest elements of this small brick and sandstone temple date from the pre-Angkorian 8th century. Scholars believe that the inscriptions indicate that the temple is dedicated to the Hindu 'god of the depths'. This is the earliest known example of the architectural design of the 'temple-mountain', which was to become the primary design for many of the Angkorian period temples including Angkor Wat. The temple is in a very poor condition. Angkor Thom Angkor Thom ("Great City") was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in the late 12th century by King Jayavarman VII. The walled and moated royal city 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. Angkor Thom was established as the capital of Jayavarman VII's empire, and was the centre of his massive building programme. One inscription found in the city refers to Jayavarman as the groom and the city as his bride. Angkor Thom is accessible through 5 gates, one for each cardinal point, and the victory gate leading to the Royal Palace area. Angkor Wat Angkor Wat ("City of Temples"), the largest religious monument in the world, is a masterpiece of ancient architecture. The temple was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and eventual mausoleum.

  • 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.

  • The Next Angkor Wat? Hile Most Tourists in Cambodia Still Make a W Beeline for Angkor Wat, More Discerning Travellers Might Want to Consider Sambor Prei Kuk Instead
    Compass The next Angkor Wat? hile most tourists in Cambodia still make a W beeline for Angkor Wat, more discerning travellers might want to consider Sambor Prei Kuk instead. Located 200km from Phnom Penh, the complex (which translates to “temple in the richness of the forest” in Khmer) received UNESCO World Heritage status this July. Believed to have flourished in the late sixth and early seventh centuries as the capital of the Chenla Kingdom, the site pre-dates Angkor Wat and is notable for the craftsmanship employed in its 100-odd temples. According to UNESCO, “the art and architecture developed here became models for other parts of the region and lay the ground for the unique Khmer style of the Angkor period”. Open daily, Sambor Prei Kuk can be reached via a short detour from Highway 6, which connects Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. samborpreikuk.com ANOTHER SIDE TO SIEM REAP Venture beyond the temples of Angkor with this one-day itinerary MARK ANDREWS MARK ANDREWS MORNING AFTERNOON EVENING by Photos Koh Ker Beng Mealea Apsara Theatre Located three hours from Siem Reap, One hour from Koh Ker is Beng Mealea, Head back to town and round off your the 10th-century temple complex of Koh built in the 12th century.

  • 09-Michael Vickery:Udaya7.Qxd
    09-Michael Vickery:Udaya7 12/28/2007 11:03 AM Page 101 BAYON: NEW PERSPECTIVES RECONSIDERED Michael Vickery Independent Scholar In recent years a number of nicely illustrated coffee-table publications about Cambodia and its temples have been put on the market. Because such publications do not usually demand the critical standards of academic writing, they have been used by some writers wishing to push historico-novelistic speculations as demonstrated historical fact, or as the consensus of the specialist academic milieu. Perhaps this is harmless enough if these publications just fall into the hands of amateurs desiring pretty pictures or guides to their own tours among the monuments, but if used by students they result in misleading confusion (specialist scholars, well aware of their weaknesses, only use these books for their illustrations, and tend to ignore the texts).1 The most recent of such publications is Bayon: New Perspectives, in which I wrote the Introduction. When I was invited to participate in that book I insisted on the desirability of avoiding the fate of earlier volumes of that type, in order to produce a book which would be useful for serious historians, art historians and students. I urged that contributors should be held to standard academic discipline in the use of source references (footnotes) and specific recognition of whatever speculations they wished to make. That is, they should provide a full scholarly argument for new proposals, and if those were only hypotheses or speculations they should be clearly identified as such. If they are maintained as speculations, each such proposal must be the end of that argument.
