Abandoned City of Lingas Is Amazing

Post by MrB »

In the abandoned city of Koh Ker is so many wonderful temples, I prefer this city to Angkor Wat & nobody goes there. It is magnificent. Do go see it if you can, you will be amazed.

I d love to go see it. Not much time for your video lately so can we get a textual explanation of the City of Lingas please? I will find the time for the video but I sense your posts might need some more text than provided here to give readers the low down

Might I suggest a geographical précis? Quick google map to give a proximity to a major town or city?

I too often can’t watch the videos straight away, but could drop a location into the map app as reminder, for instance.

Koh Ker is in Google maps and every other temple guidebook. Just use the search function. Used to be free, but now they charge a smaller fee.

This the (abbreviated) nomination of Koh Ker for World Heritage listing, from the RCGov to UNESCO
- it gives pretty good description and overview, from a broad historical perspective

Koh Ker: Archeological site of Ancient Lingapura Or Chok Gargyar

Named after the Koki tree
