Koh Ker, Cambodia.

Less than two hours’ drive from its more famous cousin, Angkor Wat, this site was the capital of the whole Khmer empire from 928-944 CE.

It features a 40m-high stepped pyramid thought to have been the state temple of Emperor Jayavarman IV.

And so, the monsoon begins in Cambodia..

This is the famous site for the Tomb Raider movie - The ancient Ta Prohm Temple in Siem Reap, Cambodia, famous for being heavily overgrown by giant jungle trees.

Constructed in the late 12th century by Jayavarman VII.

Built in the latter part of the 12th century by King Jayavarman VII, Bayon is one of the most widely recognized temples in Siem Reap because of the giant stone faces that adorn the towers of Bayon. There are 54 towers of four faces each, totaling 216 faces.
The towering faces, reaching up to four meters in height, adorn the Bayon Temple at the exact center of Angkor Thom in Siem Reap. There are as many as 216 faces on the 54 remaining towers, each representing one province of the Khmer Empire in ancient times. The faces on the Bayon Temple at Angkor Thom are believed to represent a combination of King Jayavarman VII, the temple's builder, and the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, a Buddhist deity known for compassion. They are also associated with the Hindu deity Brahma and his four faces. The faces are thought to symbolize the king's omnipresence and his role as a benevolent ruler, as well as Buddhist teachings of compassion and introspection. The Bayon temple was built nearly 100 years after the Angkor Wat temple. While its basic structure and the earliest part of the temple are unknown, it is clear that it was built on top of an earlier monument. Some local Khmer believe the faces represent Brahma, the Hindu creator god, and his four faces. This connection highlights the historical influence of Hinduism on the region and the temple's design. The Bayon was the last state temple to be built at Angkor, and the only one to be built primarily as a Mahayana Buddhist temple dedicated to the Buddha. The Bayon's most distinctive feature is the multitude of serene and massive stone faces on the many towers which jut out from the upper terrace and cluster around its central peak The faces' serene expressions and closed eyes are interpreted as symbolizing inner peace, tranquility, and even Nirvana, the ultimate state of enlightenment in Buddhism. The faces, gazing in all directions, are also seen as symbols of the king's omnipresence and his role as a benevolent ruler who watches over his kingdom.

When Angkor was rediscovered in the early 20th century by French archaeologists, all of the temples had become overgrown--but none so spectacularly as Ta Prohm.

Built during the time of king Jayavarman VII and is best known as the temple where trees have been left intertwined with the stonework, much as it was uncovered from the jungle. It might be considered in a state of disrepair but there is a strange beauty in the marvelous strangler fig trees which provide a stunning display of the embrace between nature and the human handiwork.

Notably, the altar is scattered with smaller icons, many headless, perhaps echoing episodes of Buddhist iconoclasm under Jayavarman VIII in the 13th century.

Others were later removed by colonial collectors and art brokers, entering museums and private collections abroad. 4/5

Oh and Catherine the Great of Russia. Khmer still needs an associated leader so maybe they will throw us a curve ball though and bring back Jayavarman VII.

After the Khmer Empire declined and Ta Prohm was abandoned, the jungle began to reclaim the temple. Trees, like kapok and strangler figs, started growing from the temple walls and roof, their roots penetrating the stones. The presence of these trees gives Ta Prohm a unique and mystical atmosphere.
The roots of these trees are enormous and can be seen wrapping around walls, towers, and even inside corridors, creating a mesmerizing mix of nature and architecture. Silk-cotton and strangler fig trees took root in the temple's loosened stones, which were built entirely without mortar. Built during the time of King Jayavarman VII and is best known as the temple where trees have been left intertwined with the stonework, much as it was uncovered from the jungle. It might be considered in a state of disrepair but there is a strange beauty in the marvelous strangler fig trees which provide a stunning display of the embrace between nature and the human handiwork. The most popular of the many strangulating root formations is the one inside the easternmost gopura (entrance pavilion) of the central enclosure, nicknamed the Crocodile Tree. One of the most famous spots in Ta Prohm is the Tomb Raider tree. Some trees are 500 years old and have grown over the temple ever since and become a part of it. Fig, banyan, and kapok trees spread their gigantic roots over stones, probing walls and terraces apart, as their branches and leaves intertwine to form a roof over the structures.
