ANGKOR: Land of the Gods ›

I’m not sure if you all have heard or seen this before, but it’s an episode on the Smithsonian channel talking about Angkor Wat and many important and interesting facts. Did you know that Angkor Wat was originall White and Gold? Hmm.. lol 

I have not been able to catch the episode, since we don’t actually have the channel, but I do recommend that if you DO have the Smithsonian channel, I suggest you take a look!! :) Or if you don’t, the link I provided above, have a few short clips that are also just as interesting! :) (also, if anyone can find a video/link of the full episode it would be a great help, i’ve been searching everywhere lol)

The times to catch the episode are:

Saturday March 9th, @ 10:00 AM EST
Tuesday March 12, @ 8:00 PM EST and again at 11:00 PM EST

Remember seeing a few documentaries that I have posted/reblogged? Well here he is himself, as the producer! lol His documentaries are about the genocide and history of Cambodia, and with this, any contribution(s) can help with both his personal project and necessary tools to continue his passion. :)

Since school just started, my professor is kind of corny and wants to try and get to know us a little better. Tomorrow I have to present a project to my Art History class and talk about something/somewhere that represents my culture. I chose to talk about Angkor Wat. I’ve visited many times and words can’t even begin to describe how amazing it is. All built/carved by hand, thousands of years ago. I knew it was gigantic but upon doing a little research to help my paper along, I found out it’s THE largest temple in the world! How neat is that!
