<\/p>William and I visited Siem Reap to view the famous Ankor Wat historical site.\n

Angkor Wat (Capital Temple) is a temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world, with the site measuring 162.6 hectares (402 acres). It was originally constructed as a Hindu temple of god Vishnu for the Khmer Empire, but gradually transformed into a Buddhist temple toward the end of the 12th century. It was abandoned in the 17th century and the jungle took it over \u2014 see below the photos of huge tree roots growing the the blocks that hold up the buildings and walled fencing.<\/p>\n
