Phnom Bakheng at Angkor, Cambodia, is a Hindu temple in the form of a temple mountain, dedicated to Shiva and built at the end of the 9th century, during the reign of Yasovarman (from 889-910). It is nowadays a popular tourist spot for sunset views of Angkor Wat, which lies lying amid the jungle some 1.5 km to the southeast. The large number of visitors makes Phnom Bakheng one of the most threatened monuments of Angkor. [1]
