Angkor Wat Wallpapers

Angkor Wat is 6 km from Siem Reap, Cambodia today. King II in 1115-1145 in the ancient city of Angkor in the north. It is a colossal temple city built by Suryavarman.

It is one of the rarest works of Khmer architecture and has become synonymous with Cambodia. It is also used on the national flag of the country.

Angkor Wat, the capital of the Khmer Kingdom and the symbol of its power, was converted into a Buddhist temple in the 13th century, while it was a Hindu temple in the name of Vishnu. After the capital of the Khmer Kingdom was moved to Phnom Penh in the 14th century, it remained abandoned and surrounded by forest and was rediscovered and introduced to the world in 1858 by the French naturalist Henri Mouhot. The collected lands and wild grasses were cleared in the 20th century, and the work was taken to the sun. The structure has survived to the present day under excellent protection and was included in the World Heritage List in 1992, together with the ancient city of Angkor Thom to the north. It is one of the most visited places by tourists coming to the country.

Angkor Wat contains two main elements of Khmer architecture with its mountain-shaped domes symbolizing Mount Meru, believed to be the place where the Gods lived in Hinduism, and a courtyard with a gallery. A pyramid and concentric galleries. There are thick walls and ditches, corresponding to a length of 3.6 km, around the temple. There is a small dome at each corner of the temple and a large dome in the middle. Unlike many Angkor temples, the Angkor Promise is facing west. This depicts that it was designed with an architectural philosophy that adopted the west as a kiblah.

He is famous for his sculptures with stone statues on all surfaces of the temple, roofs, sills, and pillars. There are thousands of reliefs containing scenes from Indian mythology, animal and human figures, abstract motifs, and usually half-relief friezes.

Angkor became the capital of the Khmer Kingdom in 890. It was the largest city in the world until the Industrial Revolution. King Suryavarman II, who came to the throne in 1113, for an unknown reason, unlike other Khmer kings, put Vishnu, not Shiva, at the center of his palace religious life.
