Pre Rup Temple
CWMC+X6F Angkor Archaeological Park, ក្រុងសៀមរាប 17000
Ten-century brick and laterite pyramid whose stone vat still splits scholars between crematorium and sacred-bull shrine.
This guide to Pre Rup Temple in Siem Reap opens at the stone vat by the eastern stairway, where historians still argue whether it held royal cremations or sheltered Nandi, Shiva's sacred bull. It traces King Rajendravarman II's tenth-century brick and laterite pyramid, its five towers arranged in a quincunx, and the apsaras still carved into the corners. The temple's own name, meaning turning the body, keeps the debate alive.
