Ta Prohm Temple, located in Angkor, Siem Reap became known to modern audiences as one of the locations shot in the first Tomb Raider film with @angelinajolie . In doing so, this ancient site became internationally known as “Tomb Raider Temple.” The film accurately featured Ta Prohm in all its wild and untamed glory. But that’s not the only reason why it’s a different cut of cloth from other Angkorian Temples. Nestled in the heart of the jungle, Ta Prohm Temple’s unique structure has been in the same condition in which it was found: the photogenic and atmospheric combination of trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings have made it one of Angkor’s most popular temples with visitors. Surrounded by 500 year old trees that embedded itself in the landscape, The temple comes alive with the sound of its animal inhabitants who are lurking nearby. Ta Prohm is especially serene and beautiful in the early morning. It was built about mid-12th century to early 13th century (1186) by the King Jayavarman VII, dedicated to the mother of the king (Buddhist) replica to Bayon style of art. #cambodia #siemreap #angkorthom #tombraider #travel #destinasianmagazine #mrwarburtonmedia #travel #reels #taphromtemple
