ITS EPISODE TEN!!!

Angkor Wat is considered the largest religious monument in the world. The ancient city where it sits, Angkor, used significantly more stone blocks than the Egyptian pyramids combined, and covers the same space as the city of Paris. It’s a UNESCO world heritage site because of its gorgeous architecture and its priceless insights into the ancient Khmer Empire. Angkor Wat is the giant city temple inside the ancient city of Angkor. Including forested areas and evidence of neighborhoods around the city center, Angkor covers more than 400 square kilometers. The UNESCO site believes that Angkor is “one of the most important archeological sites of Southeast Asia.”
