Angkor Wat, Cambodia: Ancient City and Mysterious Dinosaur Carving
Angkor Wat is a temple complex in Cambodia and is considered to be the largest religious monument in the world. It’s monuments count more stones than the Egyptian pyramids.
According to historians it was originally built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II as his state temple, about 800 years ago.
For the longest this ancient Khmer City remained a mysterious tale, told by explorers and missionaries. Until in 1860 a French Explorer, Henri Mouhot revisited the ruins. His drawings and writing of the city popularized in the western world.
Mysteriously the alignment of the site suggests that the ancient builders might have already been aware of the earth’s wobble, which was only discovered by modern scientists in the 19th century.
Then there is the strange carving of a dinosaur. How is it that the ancient builders, centuries ago where able to create a rendering of a dinosaur or anything looking strikingly similar to one?
