In class, Helmer had mentioned the Angkor Wat temple to be one of the largest and oldest temples in the world. Being a theology major, I find theology, no matter what religion, to be intriguing especially the history of religions. There is another side of me that loves architecture, so, needless to say, it was quite fascinating watching this short video, and others like it. I do not understand Buddhism in its fullness but it is easy to see the importance of such a temple such as the one at Angkor. Again, no matter my views or feelings towards other religions, Angkor Wat is one of many temples that hold historical and theological value and if I ever stumble and find myself in Cambodia, it is one sight I would wish to explore for myself. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful in trying to figure out how to embed the video into my blog, so please check out the link below.
