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. |
