Tours-Visages. 1/4

Bayon (XII-XIII C.)

Le missionnaire français Charles Bouillevaux qui parvient à Angkor Thom en décembre 1850 et y passe deux jours n’aperçoit pas les colossales têtes du Bayon. Elles sont alors recouvertes par la végétation de la jungle comme le sont les géants de pierre de la chaussée d’accès à Angkor Thom.

The French missionary Charles Bouillevaux who arrived at Angkor Thom in December 1850 and spent two days there did not see the colossal heads of the Bayon. They are then covered by jungle vegetation as are the stone giants of the access road to Angkor Thom.

Best viewed in original size.

a Khmer treasure, and thankfully preserved by the removal of the vegetation...at Ta Prohm is still visible how insidious the tree roots can be..
