	Phnom Bakheng
		Phnom Bakheng is best climbed at the end of the day or early in the morning, either by its immediate steep slope or by the gently winding path bearing to the left, formerly taken by tourist elephants - which is a classic and very pleasant walk.
		In particular, his excavations revealed the existence at the foot of the hill of a buried rectangular enclosure of 650 metres east-west by 440 metres north-south, intersected by gopuras of which some remnants are still visible at the base of the hill at the eastern entrance.
		The Bakheng pyramid is unique in not having its interior formed by in-fill - the bedrock has simply been hewn away as necessary and a sandstone cladding applied, as one can see in the north-east and south-east corners where land-slides reveal the substructure.

	Phnom Bakheng: 6 Oct (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Also known as the "first Angkor", Bakheng was the first major temple to be constructed in the Angkor area, and it marked the move of the capital of the Khmer empire from Roluos to Angkor in the late 9th century.
		Bakheng was a replica of Mount Meru and the number of towers suggests a cosmic symbolism.
		Sadly, the main attraction of Phnom Bakheng today is the sunset view of Angkor Wat rather than it's historical significance.

		Despite its importance, Phnom Bakheng is perhaps the least understood and explored of the major temple complexes in what is today known as the Historic City of Angkor.
		While little remains of Phnom Bakheng’s central shrine and the principal towers, there are some very fine extant sculptures, important early examples of the stylized, deeply carved figures that became known as the Bakheng Style.
		Phnom Bakheng is WMF’s fourth conservation project in the Historic City of Angkor and its fifth in Cambodia.

		The remains of a city wall 2 miles long indicate that the Bakheng was once at the center of the largest enclosed site at Angkor.
		Although plans often show a moat around the city, there is really no evidence that the moat was ever completed, or that it was contemporaneous with the temple.
		It has always been assumed that the name "Central Mountain" came from Phnom Bakheng's location at the center of the city of Yasodharapura (900 A.D.).

		The first thing they encounter is the mayhem at the bottom of the hill, with hundreds of pedicabs, motorycles, taxis and tour buses lining the roadside.
		Bakheng is like a haunted temple, it's only me, the ticket guards way far at the entrance and some stray dogs.
