This is the last part of Angkor Wat - the heritage building in Siem Reap, Cambodia
The first level of the heritage building is the most artistically interesting. Most visitors begin their exploration with the bas-reliefs counterclockwise around the temple.
Bas-relief highlights include the mythological Battle of Kuru on the west wall, the historical march of the army of Suryavarman II, builder of Angkor Wat, against the Cham, followed by scenes from Heaven and Hell on the south wall and the classic ' Churning of the Ocean Milk' on the east wall.
