The last stop in the Rolous Group, the carvings at Preah Ko are magnificent. Behold.
I wonder how this was done. I've seen it on home improvement shows, but that usually involves a jig, a router and something that spins at a high rpm.
At every site, small piles of rocks served as miniature sentinels, perhaps as a connection between the past and the present. I'd love to know more, if anyone has insights.
And there's a modern temple. The first of many we'd visit. Really great stuff--the walls and ceilings are covered with imagery depicting the old stories. Reminded me of the Vatican.
