Terrace of The Elephants
An
Imperial hunts in the somber forests of the
realm. There are formidable elephants... The
forest in which they travel in impenetrable to
all but tiny creatures, able to squeeze their
smallness between the fissures of the
undergrowth, and to the biggest animals, which
crush chasms for their passage in the virgin
vegetation.
The elephants are ridden by servants and
princes, and tread as quietly as if they were on
an excursive promenade. The steps of even length
have no respect for any obstacle.
Terrace of the elephants is located in the Royal
Square of Angkor Thom.
Accessible entry from the road at the east. It
was built at the end of the 12th century,
dedicated to Buddhist and replica to Bayon style
of art.
