Beng Mealea temple. Engulfed by nature, this 12th century temple was built under Suryavarman II and is enclosed by a moat measuring 1.2 km by 900 m. Built to the same floor plan as Angkor Wat but on a smaller scale, this almost-forgotten temple comes without any of Angkor’s crowds. The site spans more than 1 sq-km and is largely overrun by vegetation.

Sitting as the capital of the Angkor Empire from 928 to 944, it comprises of a series of temples and monuments dotted throughout 81 sq-km of jungle. Only a few temples are open to visitors, with Prasat Krahom and Prasat Thom the most visited.

The square shrine, monolithic in scale, shares its layout and likely its purpose with 3 more that are aligned on a north-south axis whilst having a relationship with the east-west axis of Prasat Thom. None of these gigantic linga shrines have roofs, perhaps unfinished, or made from perishable materials and lost to time. They all feature a sandstone base with steps on each side leading to false doors on the east, north, and south and the open doorway on the western side. In places, you can still see finely carved decoration around this base whilst the sandstone walls remain featureless. Inside, the linga pedestal retains its spout leading out the north wall and is decorated with floral swirls, hanging lotus garlands, and standing lions projecting from each side as if to uphold everything. The perfectly shaped linga features a decorative line around its perimeter base tapering upward at the center on one side.

A site consisting of originally three brick towers.

One of the larger of the secondary monuments at Koh Ker, Prast Krachap has a similar position, east of the Rahal, and a similar curious mixture.
