Koh Ker, Archaeological site in Preah Vihear Province, Cambodia.

The complex contains over 180 sanctuaries spread across 81 square kilometers, with Prasat Thom temple rising as a seven-tiered pyramid structure.

From 928 to 944 AD, Koh Ker served as the capital of the Khmer Empire under kings Jayavarman IV and Harshavarman II.

The monuments reflect the architectural evolution of Khmer temples, featuring elements that bridge classical Angkor styles with more intricate designs.

Located 120 kilometers from Siem Reap, the site maintains limited access due to forest coverage and ongoing demining operations in certain areas.

The surrounding jungle-covered hills contain numerous temples that remain untouched by religious modifications, preserving their original Hindu architectural elements.
