#bucketlistreboot Bakong Temple is only 1.6 kilometers 4 minutes drive away from Preah Ko, it is also one of the four temples in Roluos Group. Bakong Temple is the first Khmer temple mountain of sandstone constructed by the rulers of the Khmer empire in an area today called Roluos. It was built by King Indravarman 1 in the late ninth century dedicated to Shiva. The five stepped pyramids represented the sacred mountain Meru. Four levels leading to the central sanctuary correspond to the worlds of mythical beings. Imagine how the people from the pass can build and crave all these images without the modern tools help, that wonderful.
