Phnom Bakheng is located about 1.5 kilometers northwest of Angkor Wat, near the south gate of Angkor Thom. This small hill rises about 65 meters high and is the highest point in the area, offering commanding views of Angkor Wat. The hill is home to Bakheng Temple, a Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva. The main attraction of Phnom Bakheng is its spectacular sunset views. There are two ways to reach the summit: walking or riding an elephant. To enter the temple at the top, you need to climb steep stairs. At the summit stands Bakheng Temple, featuring a five-tiered pyramid base with five towers at the top, symbolizing the five peaks of Mount Meru. Besides the central tower, there are numerous smaller towers arranged in strict geometric patterns, though many are now in ruins. Despite its deteriorated state, the temple offers expansive views. To the west lies the vast West Baray, to the southeast is Angkor Wat nestled in the jungle, and to the south you can see Tonle Sap Lake in the distance. When the sun sets, the golden light creates a romantic and unforgettable view of Angkor.
As someone who has visited Angkor Vat many times, I have to say I am a bit disappointed in this museum. Firstly because 15 dollars to see national treasures - not just from the Angkor period, but pre- hindu goddesses; tapestry from villages in Northern India; Nepal, China; Bangladesh- humanity's treasures- should include an audio guide. This exceedengly important historical knowledge should be available to everyone, included and at choice. Regrettably, a few of the videos are at present outdated. The video room about Naga for example, a principal in Bhuddism- We couldn't make out a single word of what they were saying, the audio quality was unpleasant at best, inaudible in truth. You see that serpent? On all bills, guarding all temples, all parks, all bridges? But you're destined to google it instead: if you bother, that is. What is the point of having a giant pool on the first floor? Did I miss out since I didn't have enough for the audio guide? Just splendour? You could put up a plackard. For sure it's connected to the water pool of Ankor Vat. And the exhibit supposed to be dedicated to "life in the The Angkor period", missed- just that! It is the diety room, the bhuddas. What of the people who flourished there, the engineering of this civilisation-by means of water- all absent: what they wore, what they wrote, how they ate, how many they were- reconstructions of life around Siem Reap at the time, not to mention the wars fought over these temple grounds? From dynasty to dynasty, religion to religion.\n\nMore relevant now than ever - missing reconstructions. Why? And now I stop my criticisms.\nThe lovely, lively and exquisitely curated representations of bhuddas (must be one of the largest in the 🌎?.) From all over Asia and even Africa - is a SIGHT, the dim lighting, firebrick and crimson walls, highlighting faces and bodies: A room that calls you to the present.\nStepping in there it came to me how Bhuddism could reach so many, because these bhuddas undeniably look like like women or girls, they look like a neighbour, like someone familiar; a stranger at peace. The same way Siddharta never became a god, nor did he want to- but "a scent, a heartbeat, the thread in everyone". This room is to bow for.\nAaaand there should be a restaurant here that serves small portions of food, not just drinks.

居然还有博物馆要收费？还是$12？离谱。扫描看看讲解得了。🫠
入館料12ドルです。クロークやチケット販売のスタッフはとても親切です。その反面管内のスタッフはほぼ何もせずに携帯に見入っていたりします。\nアンコールワットやアンコールトムが作られるに至る歴史や各時代の装飾様式の事を知りたくて入館しましたがあいにく説明が断片的でよくわかりませんでした。世界中から毎日数多くの観光客が訪れるので唯一あるこの博物館も情報や展示方法をアップデートして欲しいと思います。本当に歴史や文化を知りたいのであればインターネットで調べたり、動画をみた方が参考になります。遺跡から移動させた程度が良い出土品はこの博物館で沢山見れます。
