    I was there in 1993. There were about 20 people there and my tour guide was an 8 year old who decided to tag along. No ticket office at that time. This video makes me realize how fortunate I was.

    Stay safe and well.

      Installing the railings for the stupid tourist turned the place to a waste land. in 2008, this place was so empty. I would pay to see a white man. You can even have sex in some temple and no one would notice. I had to ask a 7 year old kid to take my photo, because no one was present.

    When I was there I was amazed by how many of them are similiar built and sights with temples I found in the Indonesians archipelago. One of them, the tallest one I think? Is very similar to one of the Buddhist/Hindu temples in my hometown.

    • @eduardochavacano
      @eduardochavacano 4 роки тому +1

      similar yes... but not as grand. Well Borobudur was huge too. But too many Muslim school children ruined Borobudur. They were all so noisy and it did not feel like a Temple. So many girls with head scarves do not even know why there were there. it was a field trip by their school. They dont even care about the Sacred Beauty of the temple. Mendut Temple was better, no local people visiting.

    Anghor Wat is fascinating! The last temple you visited with the intertwining trees was my favorite. It seemed especially mystical to me. I didn't know there was such a large oomplex of temples. I know next to nothing about Cambodia, apart from the civil war. I would like to read more about it. I enjoy the bits of history you add to your videos. Beaurifully filmed, as always, Dr. LTE.
    P.S. Was that you telling Viktor and Olivia to rise and shine, or their dad---lol.

A building that we are not able to build today, so it cannot be built by us in the past . Sculptures that laugh, as well as stones details are amazing (09:30 - 10:40 - 13:02) 🖤

    A few questions, please: (1) If one would rather forgo the 4 am wake-up call and instead arrive at the temple complex at 10-11 am, would the temples then be too crowded and the weather too hot, etc to make the visit less enjoyable (despite missing the sunrise); (2) how long did your entire visit last? You returned to your hotel at about what time; (3) what time of the year is best suited for such a visit to avoid extreme heat and rain? Thank you!
