Hi everone ! I am Sergei Nogin. After my travels through the ancient cities of Europe, I wanted to learn more about ancient world, especially about Southeast Asian countries. That is why I decided to travel to Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.
The thing, that inspired me most of all, was an ancient city of Angkor-Wat in Cambodia. I was literally shocked by this echo of the past, lost in jungle. The city was unbelievably huge. You could not even imagine how much time it takes to see all the sights of the Angkor-Wat. That is why I paid my attention to Ta Prohm Kel Temple.
This temple was built within 30 years and it is considered to be the largest temple in the world, dedicated to the God Vishnu. The Temple plunged me into the atmosphere of an ancient powerful civilization and left the lasting impression.
It is so hard to believe that ancient people were able to build such monumental shapes and sizes. Also it was interesting to explore the Temple because the movie “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” was shot there. I had an unusual sense that I had already been there.
It was very important for me to share my impressions about the trip, about Angkor-Wat, so that tourists who are going to visit this incredible place could see the most interesting and important parts of it.
Moreover, I wanted to inform the travellers about the best time of the year for visiting this place.
I always try to share my knowledge and experience with the other people.
I prefer that it looks like not as a scientific article, but as a fascinating story for everybody who is interested in the history of the ancient world.
I thank Google team and community for this opportunity.
