Aerial view of the Angkor Wat temple
Another superb aerial view of the Angkor wat temple complex in Siem Riep.
The perfect symmetry and vast scale is only a part of the wonder of Angkor Wat.
The inner wall surrounding the temple measures 800 meters in length and contains bas reliefs of Hindu mythology in astonishing details.
The rectangular outer wall measures 1025 m x 800 m and has a gate on each side.
Angkor Wat is surrounded by a moat 190 m wide forming a giant rectangle measuring 1.5 km x 1.3 km . It is the only temple oriented toward to west.
