During the reign of King Jayavaraman IV in the 10th century,\u00a0 Koh Ker was an important city and even served as the capital of the Khmer Empire for nearly 20 years. At its peak, the site had more than 180 temples, houses and shrines. The most impressive of these structures is Prasat Thom, a seven-tired pyramid-style temple that reaches 36 metres in height.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The capital moved in 944 AD but residents continued to live at Koh Ker. Only a handful of temples were constructed after this move, with the last known sanctuary constructed at the beginning of the 13th century.\u00a0 Like many cities of the time, Koh Ker soon abandoned.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was not until the 19th century that explorers re-discovered the site. Over the following decades, archeologists from around the world have been drawn to the site, with excavations revealing more buildings as well as important inscriptions, artefacts and more. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-96f0ca0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"96f0ca0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6e5315 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"f6e5315\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"mailto:cambodia@exotravel.com\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Reach out to our Cambodia Team<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The temple becomes Cambodia\u2019s 4th UNESCO site<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28098,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[239,1402],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28095","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cambodia","category-people-culture"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Koh Ker Inscribed as a UNESCO Heritage Site - EXO Travel Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Cambodia&#039;s 10th century Koh Ker archeological site received UNESCO heritage status in September 2023.
