It's Angkor Thom, 1,000 years back was the Capital of the Great Empire of Cambodia (Cambodge in French) or the Great Khmer Empire. At the time, the Empire of the Khmer (Cambodians today) covered majority of the now South-East Asia's Mainland: most parts of Thailand, half southern parts of Laos and Vietnam. Angkor Thom temple complex has scores of the giant Four-Visage Bayon (blocks of rocks) Towers. The four faces of the tower represent the Buddha's four principles or Brahma Vihara Dharmas: Metta (Compassion), Karuna (Kindness), Mutita (Sympathy) and Ubekha (Equanimity).
Khmer King Jayavarman VII, the Greatest Emperor of all of the Khmer Empire, built this city which some international scholars describe as One and the First Capital of the modern three (3) big cities of the world at the times. The Khmer Empire covered most parts of the now mainland of South-East Asia: Cambodia, Thailand and southern parts of Laos and Vietnam.
