Angkor Wat

Now back from my holiday in Cambodia (where thankfully people are no longer compelled to dress in black.  Also it didn't rain so no need to take a mac).  The temples are amazing, especially the one being overrun by the jungle (of Tomb Raider fame), but Angkor Wat had these great bas-reliefs depicting history and associated wars of the king who built the temnple.





The photos are just from my iPad.  Do a Google search if you want to know more or see better quality, or better still, go and have a holiday in Cambodia.

One thing I did take away was the generals rank is indicated by the number of parasols he has, the more he has the more important he is.
