Angkor Wat temple

Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia is the biggest religious landmark on the planet. Angkor Wat, interpreted from Khmer (the official dialect of Cambodia) truly signifies "City Temple." As far as names go this is more or less nonexclusive. Angkor Wat was not the first name given to the sanctuary when it was worked in the twelfth century. We have little learning of how this sanctuary was alluded to amid the season of its utilization, as there are no surviving writings or engravings that notice the sanctuary by name—this is very inconceivable in the event that we consider the way that Angkor Wat is the best religious development venture in Southeast Asia.

A conceivable motivation behind why the sanctuary's unique name may have never been archived is that it was such an essential and popular landmark that there was no compelling reason to allude to it by its name. We have a few references to the ruler who assembled the sanctuary, King Suryavarman II (1113-1145/50 C.E.), and occasions that occurred at the sanctuary, yet no notice of its name.
