Stetching around the outside of the Angkor Wat central temple complex, is an 800 meter long series of extraordinary bas-reliefs (廻廊壁雕). The carvings were once sheltered by the cloister's wooden roof, which long ago rotted away. Theses carvings are so delicate and amazing! Different galleries of bas-reliefs depict different themes or events in Cambodian (some are from Indian/Hindu legends) history and religion

A scene from "Battle of Kurukshetra" (or something like that)
A triumphanl battle-march of army.
This must be the king, with all those servants with fans to cool him down. 這麼多人幫坐在轎子上的他搧風,這大概是他們的國王沒錯了!
This might be the king...
They are trying to saw the palm tree? 看不太懂,我猜他們可能在鋸樹。也有可能拿棒子擊樹,椰子就會掉下來。
Another march of the great army
Scene from the Hindu myth "Churning the Sea of Milk," depicting the battle of the Gods and Demons: tug-of-war. I think this is the "demon" part of the team. 善與惡的拔河。我想我照到的是"惡"的一方。因為壞人通常穿得比較"清涼"。
