The Koh Ker site is dominated by Prasat Thom, a 30 meter tall pyramid shaped temple mountain(to imitate Hindu concept of Mount Meru) raising high above the plain and the surrounding forest. Garuda, carved into the stone blocks, still guard the very top, although they are partially covered now.
Koh Ker is an Angkorian site in northern Cambodia. 100 km northeast of Angkor itself, it was briefly the capital of the Khmer empire between 928 and 944 under king Jayavarman IV and his son Harsavarman II. Here a vast number of temples were built under his reign.
