Angkor Wat is truly an architectural marvel. It may even a decade to understand its details.

Man, imagine being that dude in 1860, chopping through dense jungle and suddenly stumbling upon that vast, long-forgotten temple complex. How surreal that must've been for him! It would feel like you were in a dream or something.

I disagree that the Frenchman discovered it. I think he was the first foreigner to see it but locals knew about the place . I think we need to change statements about discovery of places.
@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache
Truly mind boggling how civilizations back then were capable of creating such a marvelous and complex creation
@lindadobson9854
Does nobody suppose that it wasn't built in the middle of a jungle, but that the jungle grew up around it.
@GenuinelyCurious120
I don't know why I'm so fascinated with ancient cultures but the architecture they left behind gives the chills
@thomaswilliams8167
India and Cambodia have the most detailed amazing stone carving ever.These detailed works look like they would take hundreds of years to construct by hand.True mysteries.
@suryakantsingh5889
This Hindu temple is really astonishing and great example of architecture and spirituality.
@larsrons7937
I visited Angkor Wat (and all the other surrounding temples) in 2018. Words like "amazing" and "impressive" are not enough to describe it. Whatever you can come up with that a building needs to have to be a true "wonder", Angkor Wat has it. BONUS TIP: I really recommend to visit Cambodia. Friendly people, beautyful interesting country, good food, very pleasant to be in.
@traderrohan

@Beebaboobee
Yes, I am so glad to be Cambodian. This is our most wonderful structure ever. Love from Cambodia. ❤️
@dethbolina9071
I'm khmer 🇰🇭 thank for sharing our great temple to the world
@vladimirprostran1896
I think this documentary is great, Angkor Wat definitely deserves more global attention. However, I have to admit it surprised me they did not interview any Cambodian experts - I am quite sure they would have a lot to say about their own heritage. It's strange that their choice were only British and French experts.

“He had no evidence of a sophisticated society” literally looking at one of the most sophisticated and detailed buildings ever made
@khonjel_singh
For those wondering, this documentary aired on TV in November, 2002. So even though it was uploaded in 2017, for my friends watching it with me in October 2020, this is almost 18 year old content.
@ThePlantParadigm
I actually really appreciate this level of detail for a free video. Just visited Angkor Wat today and used this to answer all our questions!
@CamAteUrKFC
It was the most stunning place I've ever been. Saw it back in 2008. I've seen the great wall, the empire state building, and the pyramids, but nothing compared to the sheer grandeur of Angkor Wat. Much love from Canada.
@bradgregersen7091
A truly marvelous piece of architecture, as a 4th generation builder I cannot even imagine the dedication the builders of this place possessed. The concept that it could be lost is just mind boggling but it is truly a blessing that it was found in such an amazing condition and is now preserved to show the abilities and artistry humankind is capable of . I would feel honored and blessed to visit some day . Salutations from the United States of America.
@Gsherpazzz
Been there twice and still can't get enough of it . just spectacular and out of the world .
