Temples was a monastery built by Jayavarman VII as a residence for
his mother. Ta Prohm has been controversially left to the destructive power of
the jungle by French archeologists to show how nature can destroy man's
work. It has been largely overgrown by the jungle and as you climb through the
dilapidated stone structures you see many giant trees growing out of the top of
the temple itself. It's the sort of place where you'd expect to see Indiana
Jones step out from behind a fallen pillar. As such, it is one of the most
regularly visited temples, with visitors often arriving during the warmer hours
of the middle of the day to take advantage of the protective canopy the forest
spreads above the temple.
