"You have not quite an aerial view -- the summit is not high enough for that ... But you can see enough to realize something of the superb audacity of the architects who dared to embark upon a single plan measuring nearly a square mile. ... Worshipful for its beauty, bewildering in its stupendous size, there is no other point from which the Wat appears so inconceivable an undertaking to have been attempted -- much less achieved -- by human brains and hands." ~ HW Ponder, Cambodian Glory: The Mystery of the Deserted Khmer Cities and their Vanquished Splendor.
