"Angkor Wat, in
its beauty and state of preservation, is unrivalled. Its
mightiness and magnificance bespeak a pomp luxury
surpassing that of a Pharaoh or a Shah Jahan, an
impressiveness greater than that of the Pyramids, an
artistic distinctiveness as fine as that of the Taj
Mahal." D.H. Dickason, 1937. |

Angkor Wat was built over
30 years in the first half of the 12th century. Its perfection in composition, balance, proportions, reliefs and sculpture make it one of the finest monuments in the World. This temple is an expression of Khmer art at its highest point of development. |

| Angkor Wat is a replica of the Universe in stone and represents an Earthly model of the cosmic World. The central tower rises from the centre of the monument symbolising the mythical Mount Meru, situated at the centre of the Universe. Its five towers correspond to the peaks of Meru; the outer wall to the mountains at the edge of the World; and the surrounding moat to the oceans beyond. | |||||||
