Khmer King Jayavarman VII built Ta Prohm Temple in 1189. It was named Rajaviraha first. There are mentions in historical records that: King Jayavarman VII ordered to create 260 walls, 39 towers, 566 clusters of stone houses, and 286 houses with bricks. Around 79,365 people from 3140 villages served the temple.
During 15th century, after the Siamese Cambodian war, Khmer rule ended in Siem Reap. With the exit of Khmer people the temple slipped into a state of oblivion. It was discovered again in 1860 by Herri Mouhot, a French botanist. In these 3 centuries of neglect, a species of Ficus, the Giant Strangler Fig trees took control of the temple. Since the temple is made with no mortar, the loose stones enabled the quick spread of roots. In year 1992 the whole territory of Angkor was taken under the protection of UNESCO.
I didn't see Lara, he Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie, but I think this is one of the temple shots seen in the movie.
