Ta Prohm, the temple of the trees

Although more than 12,000 Buddhists have ever lived there, in recent centuries the trees have been the masters of the Ta Prohm temple. Located in the Angkor region of Cambodia, this jungle adopted temple is located. It was built at the beginning of the 12th century on the order of King Jayavarman VII. The king dedicated the temple to his mother, who was modeled after the main figure of the temple, the goddess of wisdom Prajñaparamita. The temple was a Buddhist monastery and university.

Ta Prohm was abandoned in the 15th century and the entire Angkor region. Nature made its way, and the jungle devoured several temples. The buildings stopped at the root of the trees. At the beginning of the 19th century, when the French arrived in Angkor, they found them, and decided to leave Ta Prohm intact, due to its landscape value, and as a sample to see how these temples were found. Today it is one of the most important tourist baits in Cambodia.
