The construction of Angkor Wat, which began in the early 12th century, involved a massive workforce, including thousands of laborers and artisans. While elephants were used in the transportation of heavy stones and materials, specific records on the exact number of elephants employed are not detailed. Historical estimates suggest that several dozen elephants may have been used to aid in the construction process, showcasing their significance in ancient Khmer engineering.

The amount of muscles an elephant has in its trunk varies on the size of the elephant, as an elephant grows larger it will build more muscles. The average elephant has approximately 40,000 muscles in its trunk.
Angkor Wat Temple, is definitely a great place for visiting if you love cultural or historical sites. Even if you are not, you will be deeply impressed by this magnificent ancient architecture that lasted for more than a thousand year while seeing that with your own eyes.Pricing: About $20 or $25 to visit the site but you can visit many other sites that located not so far from Angkor Wat after paying that for an entire day.From my own experience, visiting Siem Reap, Angkor Wat is quite fun and adventurous ( Riding an elephant for the first time there), but i feel little tired as well.
angkor wat is used mainly as a tourist destination. but is also still visited by many devout buddhists.
Angkor is variation of the Sanskrit word, 'Nokor' which means city. Wat refers to the main temple. So Angkor Wat literally means the 'City Temple'. Angkor Wat refers to the 11th century temple to Vishnu and is one of the many temples in the larger Angkor complex, located around modern-day Siem Reap. The region that we think of as Angkor lasted from between the 9th to the 14th centuries. The capital of Cambodia today is Phnom Penh.
