Ta Keo and Angkor Thom, Siem Reap - Cambodia 4K Travel Channel
On the road to Angkor Thom we pass the 1000 year old Ta Keo temple. The Ta Keo temple was built by King Jayavarman V and King Suryavarman I, but never completed. At that time it was the most monumental building of the Khmer and should serve as a state temple. But a lightning strike was considered as evil omen and therefore the construction was discontinued. Except for few reliefs, the temple remained virtually in the shell.
Suryavarman I is said to have given the temple the scholar Yogiswara Pandita, however, he didn't feel worthy enough to live at the top terrace level
Ta Keo is the first temple that is completely built with sandstone. The sandstone had to be transported from the highlands, 30 km away.
Spean Thma (The bridge of stone)
A few hundred meters away the road crosses the Siem Reap River. The archaeologists puzzled for a long time, how as the powerful Khmer Empire could disintegrate so fast. Meanwhile, the mystery seems to be solved.
The decline began well already under King Suryavarman II who was considered as one of the greatest rulers of the Khmer. He was the builder of Angkor Wat, built as the state temple. However the religious orientation went to Vishnu, whereas his predecessors worshiped Shiva. After his death a few years of turmoil followed. In addition to disputes about the throne, the Cham conquered the Khmer capital, by surprisingly using the waterways and the Tonle Sap Lake. Only 10 years later, Jayavarman VII could again ascend the throne, after he had defeated the Cham. The disputes with the Cham went on for several more years, but in the meantime Jayavarman VII launched a gigantic program for the building of temples. In addition, he had built a new seat of government, Angkor Thom.
Jayavarman VII was a Buddhist, unlike its predecessors, who were Hindus. Presumably his followers had changed faith, so he was forced to construct new temples. But this came at a price. In the temple were not only monks, but also dancers, servants, guards, craftsmen, etc. Ultimately, hundreds of thousands of people were employed in the temples of Angkor and had to be cared for by the remaining population.

Auf dem Weg nach Angkor Thom passierten wir den ca. 1000 Jahre alten Tempel Ta Keo.
Der Tempel wurde von König König Jayavarman V. und König Suryavarman I. errichtet, aber nie fertiggestellt.
Er war bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt das monumentalste Bauwerk der Khmer und sollte als Staatstempel dienen. Doch ein Blitzeinschlag wurde als böses Omen gewertet und deshalb der Bau eingestellt. Bis auf wenige Reliefs ist der Tempel quasi im Rohbau geblieben.
Suryavarman I. soll den Tempel dem Gelehrten Yogisvara Pandita überlassen haben, der sich aber als nicht würdig befand, die oberste Terassenstufe zu bewohnen.
Ta Keo ist der erste Tempel der vollständig aus Sandstein erbaut wurde. Der Sandstein musste aus dem 30 km entfernten Bergland herantransportiert werden.
Spean Thma (Tham Brücke)
Wenige hundert Meter weiter überquert die Straße den Siem Reap River. Lange rätselten die Archäologen, wie das mächtige Reich der Khmer so schnell zerfallen konnte. In der Zwischenzeit scheint das Rätsel gelöst zu sein.
Der Verfall begann wohl schon unter König Suryavarman II. der als einer der größten Herrscher der Khmer galt. Er war auch der Erbauer des Tempels Angkor Wat, der als Staatstempel errichtet wurde. Doch die religiöse Ausrichtung ging zu Vishnu. Im Gegensatz zu seinen Vorgängern, die stärker Shiva verehrten. Nach seinem Tod folgt einige Jahre der Wirren. Neben Thronstreitigkeiten eroberten die Cham die Hauptstadt der Khmer, indem sie überraschend die Wasserstraßen und den Tonle Sap See benutzten. Erst 10 Jahre später konnte Jayavarman VII. wieder den Thron besteigen, nachdem er die Cham bezwungen hatte. Die Streitigkeiten mit den Cham gingen noch einige Jahre weiter, doch in der Zwischenzeit startete Jayavarman VII. ein gigantisches Tempelbauprogramm. Außerdem ließ er sich einen neuen Regierungssitz bauen, Angkor Thom.
Jayavarman VII. war Buddhist im Gegensatz zu seinen Vorgängern, die Hinduisten waren. Vermutlich hatten auch seine Unterstützer und Anhänger den Glauben gewechselt, sodass er gezwungen war neue Tempel zu errichten. Doch das hatte seinen Preis. Im Tempel waren nicht nur Mönche, sondern auch Tänzerinnen, Bedienstete, Wachleute, Handwerker usw. Letztendlich waren in Angkor hunderttausende Menschen in den Tempeln beschäftigt und mussten von der restlichen Bevölkerung mitversorgt werden.

Kampong Kdei Bridge
Spean Praptos (Khmer: ស្ពានព្រះទិស, also known as Kampong Kdei Bridge ស្ពានកំពង់ក្ដី) on the road from Angkor to Phnom Chisor,[1] Cambodia, used to be the longest corbeled stone-arch bridge in the world, with more than twenty narrow arches spanning 285 ft (87m). The bridge was built in the 12th century during the reign of King Jayavarman VII. It is one of the few Khmer empire era bridges to have survived to the modern day.
Several other bridges on the same model are visible: in the Angkor site (Spean Memai), Spean Thma on the former path of the Siem Reap river between Angkor Thom and the Eastern Baray, and at several locations of the former empire. More info:

Spean Thma (Khmer: ស្ពានថ្ម) in Angkor, Cambodia is known as the bridge of stone and it is located west of Ta Keo. It is one of the few Khmer Empire era bridges to have survived to the modern day.
It was built on the former path of the Siem Reap River between Angkor Thom and the Eastern Baray and it was probably rebuilt after the Khmer period (around the 15th century), as it includes many reused sandstone blocks.[1]
The 14 narrow arches are 1.10 m wide.
