  • 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”.

  • Kingdom of Cambodia the Temple of Preah Vihear Inscribed on the World Heritage List (Unesco) Since 2008
    KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA THE TEMPLE OF PREAH VIHEAR INSCRIBED ON THE WORLD HERITAGE LIST (UNESCO) SINCE 2008 Edited by the Office of the Council of Ministers PHNOM PENH MAY 2010 ON THE SUCCESSFUL INSCRIPTION OF THE TEMPLE OF PREAH VIHEAR ON THE WORLD HERITAGE LIST (07 July 2008, Quebec, Canada during the 32nd session of the World Heritage Committee) “This is a new sense of pride for the people of our Kingdom, as well as for all the people in the region and the world that the Temple of Preah Vihear was recognized by ICOMOS as an outstanding masterpiece of Khmer architecture with an outstanding universal value, and was inscribed on the World Heritage List.” “The inscription of the Temple of Preah Vihear requires the international community as a whole to protect and preserve this world heritage for the benefits of future gen- erations.” Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo HUN SEN Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, 08 July 2008 “In fact, the Decision of the 31st session of the World Heritage Committee in Christchurch, New Zealand, July 2007 contains 3 conditions. First, it is essential that Cambodia strengthens the conservation of the Temple; second, Cambodia must develop an appropriate management plan and submit it to the World Heritage Centre by 01 February 2008, because the review process would take up many months until July, to see whether or not our management plan is appropriate; and third, Cambodia and Thailand should develop a close cooperation in support of the inscription. If Cambodia fulfills these three conditions, then in 2008 the inscription will be automatic.

  • 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.

  • 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.

The struggle is noteworthy for its transethnic character, the deep and imbricated history of the players, and the fight’s intersection with dramatic contemporary politics in both countries. The paper argues that the dispute implicates existential challenges to ancient and contemporary political legitimacy. It emphasizes the significant role iconic sites can play in the construction of national identity as well as in the competitive global tourism market. The paper questions UNESCO cultural heritage policy concerning contested nominations to the World Heritage List and offers a recommendation for future treatment of similar cases.
