Prasat Bayon

We stand afore it stunned. It is like nothing else in the land. The Bayon is located in the center of the city of Angkor Thom 1500 meters (4921 feet) from the south gate. Enter tower of the Bayon emanates from the east. Prasat Bayon was built in tardy 12th century to early 13th century, by the King Jayavarman VII, dedicated to Buddhist.
The Bayon vies with Angkor Wat the favorite monument of visitors. the two evoke kindred aesthetic replications yet are different in purport, design, architecture and embellishment. The dense jungle circumvent the temple camouflaged its position in cognation to other structures at Angkor so it was not kenned for some time that the Bayon stands in the exact centre of the city of Angkor Thom.
Even after this was kenned, the Bayon was erroneously connected with the city of Yasovarman I and thus dated to the ninth century. A pediment found in 1925 depicting an Avalokitesvara identified the Bayon as a Buddhist temple.
