What Happened to the 8th Wonder of the World: Angkor Wat

BUDDYMOON DAY 547/1000 (VLOG 220)
Inside One of the Worlds Largest Forgotten Civilizations (Angkor Wat)
In this video we explore the forgotten city of Angkor and explore its hidden gem known as Angkor Wat. This is a place that we have been wanting to visit for a vary long time due to it's history and civilization.
The city of Angkor was built 900 years ago but was lost in the jungles of Cambodia until it was found by a French scientist that was wandering through the jungle on the lookout for new types of bugs. He could not believe what he had found but was even more impressed by Angkor Wat, which happened to be the largest religious structure in the world.
The city of Angkor is 162.6 hectares, larger than anything seen before. But how was a city and civilization so vast, simply just lost and forgotten. Well this is what we went out to go and find out.
While visiting Angkor, we also went to go see other temples around the complex and explore a little bit of what this city use to look like and how they are putting it all back together so that we are able to understand more of it's mysteries and secrets.

12:00 - 12:45 they are Gods one side and Asuras on other side Pulling Giant Snake (Samudra Manthan) Many epics Wars(Mahabharata) craved 3 headed Lord Brahma and many Hindu Gods carved in detailed

[@beautiful.places999]

I apologize on behalf of Cambodians to you guys that our guide at Angkor did not tell you the main things that you would like to know. I hope you have an incredible moment here, and I thank you for coming to our country. The carving at Angkor Wat temple was purposely built for Hinduism; however, the carving at Bayon Temple is the only temple that shows the daily lives of KHMER people during that era. It showed daily activities, war, and was the only temple built for Buddhism during that era. The total faces at the Bayon temple intotal have 49 plus 5 (on the main gate) = 54, representing the 54 provinces during the Khmer Empire.

[@iamin03]

We visited Angkor Wat in 2018 and we were struck with awe due to the sheer magnitude. We did a bit of a research before we went and thats why we loved the experience so much. We were wondering if you come across any documentary of Angkor Wat with an architectural point of view, could you please recommend it. We have an ancient ruin that is not well known to the world called Paharpur UNESCO Heritage site of Bangladesh also known as Sompura Mahavihara a buddhist bihar ruins. The architecture of Paharpur influenced other buddhist architectures as far as Myanmar, Thailand and Cambodia. Love & respect from Bangladesh.

[@stephenworthington-white8294]

Angkor Wat and especially the many other temples are my favourite in the world so far!! They are awesome, so many quiet ones, tree covered ones, big and small ones!! I spent 3 days there, saw 3 sunrises too. I will be back one day with my twin boys. Happy Travels

[@thebuddymoon]

We wished we had more than one day to check the place out as there is sooooo much more to see😍

[@Paul-in-Viet-Nam]

If you enjoy exploring temples, try to see Sarkhej Roza near Ahmedabad, in Gujarat, India. Just looking at the photos from an internet search is amazing, actually being there is like being in another world. When you get there, you'll get a chance to see the detailed marble carving that were done in the 1400s.

Angkor Wat is the heart of Cambodian people’s ❤

This place is stunning. I think it spend the whole day in one spot trying to understand how we went from building such structures or even the forbidden temple or Taj Mahal to having glass towers receiving global recognition and awards. I'm in awe of this place. ❤❤

[@thebuddymoon]

Could not agree with you more Kenya. These places are far more beautiful than than the places we see today, feels like we have gone backwards in terms of design😳 but so glad we could show you this amazing wonder ❤️

[@kellyvouch2113]

Angkor Wat is always beautiful to me since I first visited when I was a kid back in 1963 till now. My return since 1963 was in 1996 and it was still incredibly beautiful and tranquil. Love Angkor Wat, it’s unexplainable experience than all the places that I had visited for the past. Thanks for sharing your great experience in Cambodia. Hope you guys will be back in the future.

[@toppjj4154]

Awesome! Angkor Wat is a place I’ve always wanted to see. I hope you never lose your feeling of awe for the wonders and places you see. Thanks Leanne and Dan! 😘

[@thebuddymoon]

We hope you get to see it one day 😁 every place is so unique and sooooo different, dont think we will ever loose the love for the places we see❤️ only a pleasure 😁

[@raymonde4272]

Such a fascinating piece of history Buddys. It's hard to believe that it was largely forgotten, but sometimes that helps because later people don't steal the stones to build something else as happened to a lot of ancient Roman buildings. I couldn't help but notice how colour coordinated you both were with the green clothing.

[@thebuddymoon]

Hahahaha the colour coordination was by accident😂😂😂 but you are so right, people would of stolen the stones and so glad that it did not happen here.

[@jetfighter8332]

Everything started with Greek culture.

[@Ckrisg1]

Thanks Guys great insight I went a couple of years ago whilst on a Visa run from Thailand, really brought it back to life for me, cant wait for the rest of your Cambodia adventures. Stay safe and get the beers in 🍺🍺

[@thebuddymoon]

Only a pleasure 😁 a video that is a little different to our others but so glad you enjoyed it😁 glad we could bring some memories for you😁😁 excited to show you more of Cambodia but we wont be here for long. Hahaha we will get 2 beers and save the rest for a drone😜 Angkor would of been amazing with a drone.

[@ClintonB123]

Absolutely bloody incredible! Thanks for this video guys... I look forward to each of your videos that you post when you can. Just to think that a whole civilization was forced out of their home due to war when they spent so much time on it is really sad! Thanks for your adventures and please dont stop at day 1000. 🥰 Good luck from your home country South Africa! Love you 2! 💗

[@thebuddymoon]

We hope we can continue after 1000 days😁😁 so glad you enjoyed the video. Angkor Wat was incredible… loved every moment of it 😁😍

It’s amazing how ancient structures last so long but buildings today can be run down in 100 years Great video thanks 👍

So true, clearly our building techniques have gone backwards.

[@nes-nuhnguyen9196]

I appreciate the excellent video tour and presentation. Out of the temples you're both visiting, which one do you like the most? What are your feelings and spiritual connection to the Khmer temple? Thank you for the information and have a great time on your tours in Southeast Asia.

Hinduism was existed 80-90% of Asian continent before 6th AD. Later Buddha from our country of India was went around Asia and spread Buddhism. Hindu temples existed even with Hindu gods statues everywhere in Asian countries which is really sad destroyed by Buddhists & Muslims at that time.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Yes, bujang valley Malaysia, borobudur, prambanan Indonesia, Angkor wat Cambodia. Malaysia's bujang valley was the oldest but never applied to UNESCO. Because Muslims in kedah were not happy to promote Hinduism places to the world as 'more older and prosperous' than Islam. This is my opinion.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

You also need to understand Buddha was a real person. Hinduism is based on myth.

[@user-ib2dq7ev5n]

Buddhist comunity destroyed hindu places in these areas..? That's great lie.. hiw did you even watched this video thinking that

[@tarunchaudhary4735]

Downgrading every religion just to see your at the top is really narrow. I'm hindu, but I also think Buddhism Jainism or any other religion is nice as far as they are promoting peace within us or outer. Stop comparing, start appreciating and become proud in what you're born.

[@arhatsiddharth]

This is white lie that Buddhists destroyed hindu temples and write truth not shits

[@vivotrue9663]

Wow. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@sophoastpn3443]

Yes , at least once or twice time in one's life in the world to visit Agnkor Complex😍 .

[@AdvaiticOneness1]

The temple is filled with Shiv lingas, the Buddhists destroyed the shiv lingas and placed Buddha's statues on top of it!

[@sakdavith6969]

bro your statement is full of misinformation bs because if anything it's the other way around.

[@unknown02931]

exacty that's what i'm saying even in ta phrom temple they did the same placed buddha on broken pedestal.........

[@RemandYash]

11:26 the statue you see one side is gods 11:35 and others are monster 12:05 its called samudra mantha, it is also at swarnabumi airpot Bangkok. If you visit Bangkok airport please visit the statue and cover it in video.

[@Aghori-3]

I think the Indian govt has initiated a plan for renovating this ancient marvel.

[@thebuddymoon]

Yes they have, they partnered with Cambodia to restore one of the temples😁

Welcome to Cambodia 🇰🇭🙏🥰

[@koprey9927]

Yeah, you definitely need more than a day to explore Angkor Wat and the many surrounding temples. I have been there numerous times, and each time having spent at least three days in Siem Reap and yet there are still temples and ruins in the area that I have missed out on. Angkor Wat alone could take one a whole day just to cover the main parts of the complex - briefly! When I went there the first time with my girl friend before the influx of mass tourists in the early 1990s we had not even completed the eartern gallery yet and she turned to me and said: Have we not been here already?, to which I said: No, we are still doing the first wall, dear. There are still 3 more to go... PS: Out of the builder and the anthropologist/sociologist in you two, I prefer the latter. Besides, she's much prettier): Stay safe.
