What happened at the Construction of Angkor Wat
Angkor Wat was built near present-day Siem Reap, Cambodia, beginning around 1113 during the reign of King Suryavarman II. Constructed as a state temple dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu, it later became a Buddhist site. Built largely of sandstone blocks quarried from the Kulen Hills and transported by river, the temple took decades to complete and required immense labor and resources. Its design followed classical Khmer architectural principles, with a central tower symbolizing Mount Meru and surrounding moats representing the cosmic ocean. Angkor Wat remains one of the largest religious monuments ever constructed and a lasting symbol of Khmer civilization's power and artistry.'
