Ta Keo Temple - The Tower of Crystal
Standing at about 70 feet tall, this towering pyramid temple is set deep within the jungle and is believed to be the first temple in Angkor built entirely of green sandstone and pre-date Angkor Wat by nearly 200 years. Originally called Hemasringagiri or "the mountain with golden summits", it was commissioned in 975AD by the boy King Javavarman V, who ascended the throne at a tender age of 10.
