California science center exhibition featuring over 100 artifacts from Angkor wat, Cambodia. Experience the grandeur of Angkor in this groundbreaking movie, Angkor 3D: The Lost Empire of Cambodia.
Built in the first part of 12th century, and encompassing an area of over 500 acres, Angkor Wat is one of the largest religious monuments ever constructed. Angkor wat means "Temple city".
Originally built as a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Vishnu, it was converted into a Buddhist temple in the 14th century. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that scientists are struggling to preserve. Built using thousand elephants and 300,000 workers, the opulent temple city of Angkor has been near-deserted for centuries, yet its grandeur and mystery now attract a million visitors each year. The question is, why was it deserted at all?
We have several references to the king who built the temple, King Suryavarman II and events that took place at the temple, but no mention of its name.
Angkor Wat is dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu who is one of the three principal gods in the Hindu pantheon. Construction of the site took over 30 years and was never completely finished. The site is built entirely out of stone, which is incredible as close examination of the temple demonstrates that almost every surface is treated and carved with narrative or decorative details.
An aerial view of Angkor Wat demonstrates that the temple is made up of an expansive enclosure wall, which separates the sacred temple grounds from the protective moat that surrounds the entire complex. The five stone towers are intended to mimic the five mountain ranges of Mt. Meru-the mythical home of the gods, for both Hindus and Buddhists. The temple mountain as an architectural design was invented in Southeast Asia. Southeast Asian architects quite literally envisioned temples dedicated to Hindu gods on earth as a representation of Mt. Meru.
Additional evidence provided by ancient tree rings suggests climatic variation may have been the nail in the coffin. Tree ring cross-sections taken from long-lived conifers indicate a major drought in Angkor towards the middle of the 14th century, followed by intense monsoons and then another big drought.
