    Angkor Wat - Day 2

    3 aprile 2019, Cambogia ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

    The Angkor Wat temple is surrounded by a 15-foot high wall, with a moat 5 km long and 4m deep to protect the city, the temple and residents from invasion. A sandstone causeway served as the main access point for the temple.

    The entire city of Angkor used up far greater amounts of stone than all the Egyptian pyramids combined, and occupied an area significantly greater than modern-day Paris.

    This city contains hundreds of temples. The population may have been over 1 million people. It was easily the largest city in the world until the Industrial Revolution. Angkor had an urban core that could easily have held 500,000 people and a vast hinterland that had many more inhabitants.

    Another temple here, Angkor Thom, famous for the movie "Tomb Raider" in which Angeline Jolie featured.
