Angkor became an important kingdom in Southeast Asia during the Khmer Empire (9th to 15th centuries) due to its strategic location, agricultural productivity, and advanced irrigation systems, which supported a large population. The kingdom thrived on trade, connecting with regions like India and China, and its rulers promoted Hinduism and later Buddhism, fostering rich cultural and artistic achievements. The construction of monumental temples, such as Angkor Wat, showcased the empire's wealth and architectural ingenuity, solidifying its status as a powerful center of influence in the region.
Angkor Wat is a Buddhist temple in Angkor, Cambodia. The Khmer King Suryavarman II (1113 C.E-1150 C.E) constructed Angkor Wat as a Hindu temple in the early 12th century C.E. Angkor Wat continued to serve as a Hindu temple until the late 13th century. When the Buddhist Srindravarman (ruler from 1295-1308) took power of the Khmer kingdom he converted the temple of Angkor Wat into a Buddhist temple. Angkor Wat was abandoned for the most part in the 16th century. In the 20th century the temple was mostly restored. Tourists from all over the world visit Angkor Wat, as it remains standing to this day.
