East Mebon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The East Mebon is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia, located in the centre of the East Baray. The temple was dedicated in 953, approximately 50 years after construction of the baray. The baray has since dried up, giving the temple an impression of greater height which has led some to confuse it with the temple mountains which were the kingdom's state temples. The temple consists of three tiers and is in the Pre Rup style.
