The world famous temple was first a Hindu one, dedicated to Vishnu. In the 14th or 15th century, as Buddhism swept across Asia, it became a Buddhist temple. The Western world’s got a glimpse of Angkor Wat when a 16th century Portuguese monk visited the temple and eloquently described it as "of such extraordinary construction that it is not possible to describe it with a pen, particularly since it is like no other building in the world. It has towers and decoration and all the refinements which the human genius can conceive of." His words still rang true today. Bayon two fantastic temples that serve as the ancient capital of Khmer empire. <img src="http://static.neatorama.com/images/2007-09/ankor-wat-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Angkor Wat <img src="http://static.neatorama.com/images/2007-09/angkor-thom.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The face of Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara at Angkor Thom.
