4. Angkor Wat is a temple which is located in Siem Reap province. The
Angkor Wat temple was constructed by king Suryavarman II, in the
beginning of 12th century in the year of 1113 AD. Suryavarman II was
one of the most conquering kings of the Khmer empire (1112-1152). The
Angkor Wat is also considering as one of the largest religious Hindu
temples in the world, and considering as the most using stone temple in
the world as well. Angkor Wat estimated to use the sandstone and laterite
approximately 300,000 millions tones and took to build about 35years.
Angkor Wat was originally served as a Hindu temple, which dedicated to
honor of Vishnu. It is only temple in the Angkor area, which built facing
to the west.
The reason that Angkor Wat facing west, because due to this monument
constructed to honor of God Vishnu. This reason, because Vishnu
associated to the west side of the universe, Suryavarman II took Lord
Vishnu as his God.
