Kuil (Temple of) Phnom Krom



Lewat petang kami anak beranak memanjat satu bukit bernama Phnom Krom kira-kira 20 km ke selatan persekitaran Angkor Wat dan Angkor Thom.
Late in the afternoon we as a family climbed a hill called Phnom Krom around 20 km to the south of the vicinity of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom.


Di puncak bukit itu ada satu kompleks kuil purba.
At the summit of the hill lies an ancient temple complex.











Ia dibina pada akhir abad ke- 9 Masihi iaitu semasa zaman pemerintahan Raja Yasovarman (889.-910).
It was built at  the end of the 9th century that is during the reign of King Yasovarman (889-910).








Ini adalah dua abad lebih awal daripada pembinaan Angkor Wat.
This is two centuries earlier than the building of Angkor Wat.
