1150AD when the Khmer civilization was at the height of
its development, represent one of humankind's most
astonishing and enduring architectural achievements.
Angkor Wat, surrounded by a moat with an exterior wall
with distinctively rendered Apsara carvings adorn the
wall throughout the temple. The exterior walls of the
