The Enigmatic Koh Ker Pyramid of Cambodia

Located more than 70 miles away from the famous site of Angkor Wat, the Koh Ker Pyramid is a largely forgotten part of Cambodia. It sits in a jungle-filled region, and is one of 180 sanctuaries in a 31 square mile area, but only 25 of them can be visited.

It is the centrepiece of the Prasat Thom site inside a great wall on a flat plain and is thought to be the only true pyramid in Cambodia. The base measures 66 metres or 216.54 feet square and has a height of 40 metres or 131.23 feet, making it about 70 feet smaller than the Egyptian pyramid of Menkaure on the Giza Plateau.
