Angkor and Bayon: Unveiling the Meaning and Mysteries - Paperback

by Gavin P. Fraser (Author)

Most people leave Angkor Wat and Bayon impressed... but tired, confused, and full of unanswered questions. This book fixes that.

Read this book and you will:
- See the huge differences between Angkor's Hindu world and Bayon's Mahayana Buddhist vision - and the two kings behind them: the god-king and the people's king.
- Get new answers to remaining mysteries about the temples.
- Read the temples with confidence, noticing details most visitors miss completely.

Entertaining, clear and easy to read (even for ESL visitors), this book gives you the real story behind both monuments - what they were saying, why they were built this way, and why their two worldviews still matter today. Without this guide, you only see the temples. With it, you understand them on a whole new level.

Make your visit and memories unforgettable - not confusing or disappointing.
