Solar Alignments of the Planning of Angkor Wat Temple Complex
This paper is discussing some solar alignments that can be observed in the planning of the Angkor Wat temple complex in Cambodia. This complex was originally constructed in the early 12th century as a Hindu temple for the Khmer Empire and gradually transforming into a Buddhist temple. To illustrate the solar alignments we use SunCalc.net software and Photographer s Ephemeris on Google Earth satellite images.
