Angkor Wat can be regarded the zenith of the art of the Angkorian Empire. However. it was based on preceding temple-mountains. Among them. Baphuon (1050-1080) can be considered as one of the milestones. It represents the cosmology received from India but revised by the Cambodian. Further, the rendering of the whole sanctuary, including three galleries on the three tiers and the narrative bas-reliefs. which probably represent part of the lives of the people, proved to be a valuable prototype for building Angkor Wat. Thus, Baphuon is one of the crucial foundations for Angkor Wat. |
