Ta Phrom Tomb Raider Angkor Wat Temple
Dubbed the Tomb Raider temple because it provided the mystical backdrop for the 2001 Hollywood hit starring Angelina Jolie, root-riddled Ta Prohm continues to capture the imagination of tourists.
Ta Prohm was catapulted onto the international stage when scenes of the ancient city engulfed by the jungle were screened across the world in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.
This cemented the temple’s status as an iconic tourist attraction and helped lure millions more visitors to Cambodia, desperate to stand beneath “the tree” made iconic by Angelina Jolie in the movie after snapping the sunrise at Angkor Wat.
While nearby Angkor Wat may well remain the king of Angkor Archaeological Park, Ta Prohm deservedly sits in the top three - alongside Angkor and Bayon - and by far wears the crown of being the most atmospheric.
A history
Constructed in 1186 as one of the first buildings in Jayavarman VII’s grand vision of creating a network of public buildings and structures, Ta Prohm was originally named Rajavihara - monastery of the king - and served as Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university.
Jayavarman VII - who completed Angkor Wat, which was started by Suryavarman II - dedicated the sacred site to his family, with evidence of this found in inscriptions on the temples’ stele. For example, Ta Prohm’s main image represents Prajnaparamita - the personification of wisdom in Mahayana Buddhism - was modelled on the King’s mother.
