Sambor Prei Kuk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ancient temple complex of Sambor Prei Kuk is located just to the north of the town of Kompong Thom, Cambodia.
Located on Eastern bank of Tonle Sap, the central part of Sambor Prei Kuk is divided mainly into three groups. The structures of the overall archaeological area were constructed at variable times: the southern groups and north (7th century), and the central group (later). The buildings of Sambor Prei Kuk are characteristic of the Pre-Angkorean period with a simple external plan. The principal material is brick, but sandstone is also used for certain structures.[1]
