Angkor Wat The greatest of the Angkor temple complexes is Angkor Wat, constructed under King Suryavarman II (reigned 1113-1150) to celebrate the king as the incarnation of the god Vishnu. An immense rectangle, measuring about 850 by 1,000 m (2,800 by 3,300 ft), Angkor Wat contains concentric walled courtyards surrounding a central structure with five graceful lotus-shaped towers. Its galleries are decorated with sculptures depicting legends of Vishnu. we were up at 05.00 to see the sunrise	the place was almost silent, but as if from an unheard signal the whole jungle suddenly came alive with a cacophony of insect sounds as the dawn approached.
