Ak Yum, Archaeological site in Angkor, Cambodia.
The temple features three pyramidal levels with a central tower at its summit, measuring 100 meters on each side at its base.
The temple began as a single-chamber brick sanctuary in the 8th century and expanded during King Jayavarman II's reign in the early 9th century.
An inscription discovered at the southeast angle documents a donation to the deity Gambhiresvara, revealing the temple's Hindu religious practices.
Located on the south bank of the West Baray, Ak Yum stands 1.5 kilometers from the southwestern corner of the water reservoir.
The temple contains an underground cave extending 12.25 meters below ground level, making it a distinct structure within the Angkor Archaeological Area.
