Stabilizing and Restoring the Ninth-Century Temple of Phnom Bakheng
ANGKOR, CAMBODIA -- Phnom Bakheng, the state temple of the first Khmer capital in the Angkor region of Cambodia, survives as one of the world’s greatest architectural treasures. The temple's stepped pyramid construction is a built representation of Mount Meru, home of the Hindu gods, and its privileged hilltop location makes it unique among the temples of Angkor.
