The outer wall measures 1km east-west and 650m north-south, certainly big enough to accomodate the 12,640 people mentioned in the temple's inscription. Within, another wall 250m x 220m marks the fourth enclosure (numbered, as usual with Khmer temples, from centre outwards). Similiar proportions are repeated at Preah Khan and Banteay Kdei, which were built at about the same time.26403
Ta Prohm (តាព្រហ្ម) - the trees that have grown intertwined among the ruins are especially responsible for Ta Prohm's athmosphere, and have promted more writers to descriptive excess than any other feature of Angkor. There are two species: the larger is the silk-cotton tree distinguished by its thick, pale brown roots with a knobbly texture, the smaller is the strangler fig, with a greater mass of thinner, smoother grey roots. Angkor, Cambodia (កម្ពុជា)31154
This was the temple chosen by the Ecole Francaise d'Extreme-Orient to be left in its natural state, as an example of how most of Angkor looked on its discovery in the 19th century. This was an inspired decision, and involved a significant amount of work to prevent further collapse and enough clearing of vegetaton to allow entry. It has been maintained in this condition of apparent neglect. All in all, Ta Prohm has the romantic appeal of, say, a Piranesi ruin: partly overgrown and gently declining.20882
Ta Prohm (តាព្រហ្ម) - One of the major temples of Jayavarman VII - in fact a temple monastery - Ta Phrom features a set of concentric galleries with corner towers and 'gopuras', but with many other additional buildings and enclosures. The complexity of its layout is increased by its partly collapsed state, with trees interlaced among the ruins. According to its stele, which until recently was 'in situ', the principal divinities of Ta Prohm were installed in 1186 to transfer merit to the king's mother.25208
