Maps of Angkor

The goal of this personal pilgrimage is to reach Angkor Wat and document some of its wonders.: Here are some photos of Angkor and links to interesting pages.









We'll be visiting Angkor with a film crew and a group of scientific experts, sanskritists, anthropologists and guides to answer a few questions. Angkor Wat is a miniature replica of the universe in stone and represents an earthly model of the cosmic world. The central tower rises from the center of the monument symbolizing the mythical mountain, Meru, situated at the center of the universe. Its five towers correspond to the peaks of Meru. The outer wall corresponds to the mountains at the edge of the world, and the surrounding moat the oceans beyond.

Was the holy ground at Angkor part of Greater India from the time of the Mahabharata War? How did the people live and what was their peculiar view of Cosmology? How did the Vedic observatories erected there function? What happened to the Angkor civilization, and why did it disappear? Is it possible that strange visitors from other planets established these highly advanced observatories?  So these and many other questions will be probed in our journey and later developed in a film documentary we're putting together.  Discovery Channel here I come.

Here are some links to the must see temples of Angkor.
