Let’s take a closer look at Angkor Thom and Angkor Gate.
Angkor Thom Angkor Thom...
It means a big city where people live...
Square shape approximately 3Km x 3Km (not a perfect square)
There are a total of 5 entrances
East, West, South, North, Gate of Victory
There are two doors on the east side.
A city of nearly 1 million people
Bayon, Baphuon, Pimenakas, Royal Palace Site, Elephant Terrace, King's Terrace, Leper King's Terrace, etc... It
includes many ruins.
According to Jinrappungdogi, there were about 23 inns.
There is a moat surrounding it, and there is an entrance gate after passing a bridge with railings at each gate,
which depict 54 good gods and 54 evil gods holding Vasuki, symbolizing the myth of the Hindu creation myth
of Rowing the Sea.
So, there are a total of 5 doors, but since many people just pass by, I am uploading detailed photos like this.
I drove it when I was just passing by in a tuk-tuk or car, but when I look at it in detail like this,
The gate is also very grand and contains content from Hindu mythology.
