Ta Keo Temple | Kingdom of Wonder | Siem Reap | Welcome to Cambodia



Welcome to Cambodia
I'm going to take all of you to visit my country, the Kingdom of Wonder, Cambodia that fulls of many temples like Angkor Wat, Bayon, Banteay Srey Temples.
Ta Keo had to be the state temple of Jayavarman V, son of Rajendravarman, who had built Pre Rup. Like Pre Rup, it has five sanctuary towers arranged in a quincunx, built on the uppermost level of five-tier pyramid consisting of overlapping terraces (a step pyramid), surrounded by moats, as a symbolic depiction of Mount Meru.

Its particularly massive appearance is due to the absence of external decorations, as carving had just begun when the work stopped, besides an elaborate use of perspective effects. It is considered an example of the so-called Khleang style.
