--------Mystery of Angkor

Have long heard of Cambodia "Angkor" is a mysterious place, Angkor VAT is Egypt Pyramids, the great wall of China, the leaning tower of Pisa, the Italy Greece Babylon Temple Borobudur, Indonesia and India as world with Taj seven wonders.

So I decided to take a few days holiday new year's day, visit this mysterious place.

When you travel to Siem Reap, Angkor Wat has seen a miracle of architecture, but on his historical background, the architectural style of poorly understood, in the face of the several hundred Tower Temple, can only marvel at the stunning, but could not discover the secret of which is a pity.

So we made some ready to see a lot of related information. When we stood in front of the Temple of the heart, we still got its charm, its scale, be it a beautiful deterrent. Although we tried to see it's true, but left to us in addition to the great spiritual enjoyment, there are many solutions of mystery.

The earliest description of Angkor in the Yuan Yuan Yuan-Chen first June (1295), then at Angkor Empire heyday, Wenzhou businessmen were ordered with the week went to zhenla countries (now Cambodia), wrote it in Cambodia and heard the zhenla endemic ", while only 8 years, but the Chinese scholar and smooth strokes so that he will start of line as well as in Angkor witnessing of life and personal experience, write more vivid and detailed, the viewer such as Pro its border.

It is a philosophic life week left only one book. "As the King of the team forward, more and more spectacular scenery, after holding the contradictions of the warrior by goats and horse driving vehicles, they all go with gold. Followed by the Minister and the Prince of the elephant, the elephant is overlaid with ... "this is the week optimism in his mind the zhenla endemic book on Angkor luxurious scene of vivid descriptions. In a sense, Zheng is the bustling dynasty of the last witnesses. It is said that from the da Ming Empire of princes who saw the zhenla spotless, Metro, Chen, and not by a big sigh: rich, zhenla! they left with envy. Because it was someone else's life in the Kingdom of others. Fleet away from real wax less than 30 years, Angkor will mysteriously went to town, this buried in the packages in the tropical rainforest, and the words. So luxurious and rich towns, so rich people, is how to disappear so thoroughly? still a puzzling mysteries.

In 1860, France Renxiang Lee · El Amor (Henri Mouhot) came to Cambodia, he had read in the French version of "write" zhenla endemic (early 19th century, France's sinologists take this book has become the French), so he abandoned ancient city with great interest, he then went to Cambodia to collect butterfly specimens.

One day, Henry led down the Wizard see locals say a site of ancient architecture. He is from the prodigious jungle walk for a long time, wielding machetes. The wizard several times discourage Mohsen AO, because here the malaria and the beast will be the loss of life, but the passion for adventure has led him not to stop. Suddenly appeared before him in a long long stone, stone steps lead to several Spire high tower, the tower was considered to be sculpted beauty pattern. Henry was the immediate scene stunned. "When you see the Minaret of the moment, I felt heart trembling, at this point, you have to admire the silent gaze of mood, you have no way to combine a Word to admire this wonderful architectural history-features---. "This is Angkor (Angkor), one in the tropical jungle sleeping four hundred years of the city. I think that each person will be here and Austrian feel the same. However, found the city pool why not Cambodia himself, nor is it's neighbors---Asian country, but are separated by vast oceans of France, is it not also a puzzling mysteries?

El Amor records found Angkor notes "round the world travels" (in the book he draws many pictures), only after death, the world's attention began to concern the lost ancient city.

Again found in Angkor gradually after cleanup fixes, become the greatest pride in Cambodia. This ancient city from hermit comes, will people back hundreds of years ago by adding the Khmer Rouge and Thailand wepons of tragic era. The rise and fall of a nation in the world.

The so-called Angkor monuments is 230 km radius of more than 50 Palace Temple.

Complete this hung article giant system, after 22 King and 9 to 14 century wuliubai years, architectural flowering craftsman tens of thousands of people, La stone elephant had as many as 4! Angkor's ancient building techniques be rated as a unique cave, weighing 100 kg to 1 tonne of lumps of stone, is all set up, or even close to even have a blade also placed them. These giant stones is how finely laminated together tens of meters, or even hundreds of metres, in the middle and no adhesion of cement and clay, but thousands of years, this isn't even more difficult puzzles?

Angkor in Cambodia language is the meaning of "capital city".

Because it is the capital of the State of real wax. This is what people usually say "Angkor". Angkor is that ancient Khmer "forbidden city", have 10 m high walls, wall, moat width up to 100 meters; the King aristocracy lived in the city, the civilians living in the city. The East has a carved into Buddha's huge gates, the Eastern door except a deceased person, also open the door to a victory. The gates of Ave., with stone statues of 54 seats and 54 Devil shou, South Gate (civilian Mun) save quite good, the statue of the God and the Devil (for gates, left, for God's peace, the right is the devil, unexpectedly, mesh), they all hold snake body, stir together, let the sea into a sea milk, this is the so-called "churning of the sea of milk", this is probably the only God and the devil once cooperation. Although nowadays some statue head missing, but still feel those people row as the feel of dignified and shock.

King City is an aspect of the three-kilometre square, in the axis Shicheng intersection is Temple.

China's Ambassador to the Kingdom of the Yuan as an Envoy to the Khmer Rouge, once such a week optimismFrom the seat of the castle of Grand Central, "King City stands a URN, distribution with 8 Gold Buddha statues, 20 more smaller Tower and several hundred stone room between. To the East, a Jinqiao, respective dunshou a lion. Urn in the North, a copper Tower more tall, amazing. Northern King Suite, also urn stand. So rich and noble, overseas visitors alike. "A new year's Eve, the Palace of the grand celebration before even this week, Ambassador of blood — a large enough to hold 1000 people sitting, with lanterns and flowers. Night, the King to the Fireworks together into Thunder, has a population of one million, capital city of shivered 10 km outside can see Fireworks brilliance .... Unfortunately, all of the wooden architecture has long gone, leaving only the ruins, to visitors telling its former glory.

Located in the city of paradise Tower, was held at the ceremony, which was a huge line up of the platform, just like the great wall.

Central is the bench, the left one wall relief is the elephant, and the truth is the same size, right, and left as tall as, raised his arms like a samurai in dance. Respectively to the sides, can feel far away at the end of the platform but could not see, so I can't count the number of warriors, the number of elephants. In the face of the square, while just a desolate and perpetually. But you can imagine, this square, tens of thousands of soldiers pijianzhirui, and thousands of war elephants, queue, accepted the Emperor's review, this is a very grand. Here is held every year, winning the competition bucket like an elephant to become King of the mount. The distance across the square, there are 12 block, stone, called the 12 Zodiac Tower. Eight hundred years, they are just like many soldiers are still guards the square.
