Suryavarman II constructed Angkor Wat in the form of a massive temple mountain dedicated to the Hindu god, Vishnu, during the height of Khmer's political and military dominance in the region.

It is surrounded by a moar and the exterior wall mesures 1.3km x 1.5 km. The 5 beehive-like towers, rising 65 m from ground level, sits on a massive three-tiered pyramid.
