Cambodia was really beautiful and full of history. We did a quick stop at Ta Keo, or The Unfinished or Unlucky Temple as it’s known because the story says that when they were almost done constructing the temple lightning stroke the building and the people in charge thought that was a very bad omen and left it unfinished and it remained abandoned ever since. • 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 moat, as a symbolic depiction of Mount Meru. • #cambodia #siemreap #angkorwatworldheritagesite #cambodiaheat #awayfromhome #aroundtheworld #edücation #worldtravelers #travelingisliving #asia #southeastasia #asiatrip2018 #canyougivemeaminute #tropicalcambodia #welcometocambodia #hellofromcambodia #ontheothersideoftheworld #siemreapcambodia #angkorwat #takeo #angkorwattour #angkorwatsunset #angkorwatcambodia #angkorwatarcheologicalpark #jayavarmanv #worldheritagesite #unfinishedtemple #cambodiaisawesome #holysite #i❤️cambodia (at Ta Keo)
