More photos to come

Ta Prohm has generally been left as it was found, with just the jungle cut back for paths of visitors and some reinforcement to stop further structural collapse. Upon discovering the temple, you can see the famous buildings with trees growing up around the buildings and buildings that collapsed sometime during the past half a millennia. This monastic complex was one of the largest sites in Angkor- it took nearly 80,000 people to maintain the temple during Angkor times, including 18 high priests and over 600 dancers. The 700,000 sq meter, rectangular complex is enclosed by a laterite wall with Gopuras at the east and west entrances. This monastery was built in the second half of the 13^th century, following the completion of Angkor Wat and before the start of Angkor Thom.
