Jayavarman VII

Bayon (XII-XIII C.)

Jayavarman VII ( né à une date inconnue (avant 1150), mort en 1218 ou 1219, est le dernier grand roi de l'empire khmer. Il régna de 1181 jusqu’à sa mort. C’est un grand bâtisseur car, outre le Bayon, Jayavarman fait également ériger deux temples à ses ancêtres, Ta Prohm en mémoire de sa mère et de son maître spirituel, le Preah Khan en l’honneur de son père. En outre il remet en état les voies de communication à travers l’ensemble du pays, fait ériger des ponts de pierre et des gîtes d’étape dans lesquels trône son buste afin de mieux représenter l’omniprésence du maître de l’empire et la centralisation des institutions.

Jayavarman VII (born on an unknown date (before 1150), died in 1218 or 1219, is the last great king of the Khmer empire. He ruled from 1181 until his death. He is a great builder because, besides the Bayon, Jayavarman also had two temples erected for his ancestors, Ta Prohm in memory of his mother and spiritual master, the Preah Khan in honor of his father. In addition, he refurbished the communication channels throughout the country, erected stone bridges and stopover lodges in which his bust sits to better represent the omnipresence of the master of the empire and the centralization of institutions.
