Taken from Wikipedia.org: Suryavarman II (King of the Khmer Empire from 1113 A.D. to 1145-1150 A.D. and the builder of Angkor Wat). His reign's monumental architecture, numerous military campaigns and restoration of strong government have led historians to rank Suryavarman as one of the empire's greatest kings. During his decades in power, the king reunited the empire, reversing many of the benign policies of his predecessor. After the war that Cambodia had gone through, the temple has been pulling millions of tourists every year. Still growing strong at more than 4 million tourists in the year 2007. I like to think that without the temple, Cambodia would have hardly survive.
