Preah Ko

This 9th century brick temple is one of the old in the Siem Reap area.

image

The buildings were kind of oddly spaced. They didn’t line up and were too close together.

image

It has some of the best preserved lions though.

image

Complete with nostrils.

image

They had big scary teeth.

image

And they didn’t look very happy.

image

The other one was missing his bottom jaw, so he’s not very scary.

image

There was also a bull out front.

image

And a guard guy in a top hat.

image

There were strange creatures on the columns.

image

These elephant lions live underwater.

image

This is an eagle man. A god usually rides on his back.

image

It was very impressive.
