Angkor WHAT!?
Ankor Wat, one of the 7 wonders of the world and we are going to go watch the sunrise. Let's go. Where you see colours--it was painted during 16 century when this temple convert to Buddhism. This was original Hindu and build from 1113 and finished 1150. 37 year constuction.
This is absolutely incredible. Mind blown. We are on our next temple, the Bayon temple. No, no, no, you are not getting just 1 temple today, you are getting 2, 3. Yes you are getting 3. So we are going to go look. It is also in the Angkor Thom, difference being this one is more famous for its faces; it has very intricate faces all around. Let's take a look.
We are in front of the Bayon temple, we spell b-a-y-o-n. So this is the main Buddhist temple build in the middle of Angkor Wat Literally, there's faces everywhere. Hi guys. So we are on our third and final temple here in the Angkor Thom city. Yes, this is the Ta Prohm temple, aka the Tomb Raider. Yes,Tomb Raider was filmed here, Angelina Jolie You recognize it? You recognize it? Maybe, somewhat.
So everybody, this is Ta Prohm. Build in 1186 AD. In the reign of King Jayavarman the seven, and he build this temple for his mother. Oh no, did we leave the sacret artifact in the temple? We must go get it. What would Angelina Jolie do? She'd run. Yes she would. It's going to blow. Go, go go. Mission complete. Let's go home. You know, I actually really wish I know what happened in the Tomb Raiders movie, because I'm sure this would be a lot more interesting if we did. We could have a plot line. We could have a plot.
