Strange coincidence. I had never heard of Angkor Wat until my recent vacation. There were photos on the wall of the ship near the elevator, so I did a little googling.

Let me expand your knowledge of Cambodia then
In Battambang, Cambodian locals travel on bamboo trains on railway tracks as a form of transportation. Very humbled by their resourcefulness

I don't think it's about which is more impressive but about what's possible and they are showing us - building with rocks on a steep mountain without any fancy tools, and it just stands, thousand of years.
and it also gives us a glance at what the ancients think about afterlife.

True. I think it goes to show that if you just focus on one thing, you can accomplish a magnificent task. Multitasking is the bugbear of greatness
