WHY ANKOR WAT WAS BUILD HAVE THE FACE TO WEAST?
Views about the construction of Angkor Wat faces west
The east is east and west is sunset. Construction as a worshiping temple awning's palace or mansion house key officials always oriented to the east. But they found nothing octagonal church tastes great mountain, which is oriented to the east, and the temples of Angkor Wat, built during the reign of King Suryavarman 2 (c. 1113-1152), which is oriented to the west.
With signs entrance temple complex in the west on the road paved with sandstone how such bridges crossing the moat so, just view many understand Angkor Wat faces west, while in the eastern part there was no road to good qualify as roads in the west that. But in all the temple at Angkor Wat statue turned to the east as usual.
For some perspective they see the road to Angkor Wat from the west, they explain:
Build the temple faces east (the road), it is too close to the Siem Reap River courtyard alms at the road to Angkor Thom in the west. According to geographic factors. But if they understand Reap River water flows talisman like water irrigation pipes borrowed East is immortal serimongkol castle ruins. Moreover Reap River which flows east of Angkor Wat is a ferry transport from Phnom Kulen sandstone for building temples Mlaohhaey there is no can leave rubble for continued yoktowksaeang castle.
Others understand that philosophy is oriented to the east, it seems to turn to other important temples.
Others understand that the temple views turned to the west is the tomb of King Suryavarman 2 because the west is the symbol of death, or death. Further features are the castle tour through sculpture carved on the wall 1 of the great temple was also traveling from left to right like a funeral march around the cemetery. Therefore, Angkor Wat where the body of the Khmer King Suryavarman 2nd name because they have left a stone coffin, the existing evidence. Angkor Wat is the gods, or called tevosthan Palace as well, because the name of King Suryavarman 2 after his death to death his soul dwells in tevosthan Assault talisman.

Khmer five charges, such as counting the number thvayokrou Islamic Khmer by five five five betel incense smoke five five five-story hand sei chest and curse three desolate, three photography. He added that the draw was designed by turning the top three among the top five to the west, in order to kill what are the things, which is the bottom of the root of Indian philosophy. In view of India, even though Hinduism or Buddhism, it is the respect for some things, such as Hinduism respected deity three Brahma gods of retail and Statue worlds (three planets) traivet (magic trio), while Buddhism trinity Roth gift three incense three palms three times bratoksaen three rounds. For the three Khmer bad Pest international resources such as bobbin, bobbin ghost forest to chop wood tie rods are not bound to bury the ghost ghost bratoksaen three rounds.
