I don't know if we all can keep the interest levels up through a total of five temples today. Ta Prohm for sure. That's the one used in "Tomb Raider" with all the trees growing up through the temples. Very "Indiana Jones" looking and #4 on the list today. But all the others...The first was Prasat Kravan from the early 10th century, originally constructed by noblemen rather than a king. The most interesting part of Prasat Kravan is the Vishnu carvings inside, rendered in brick and some inscriptions. This temple has the only example of brick bas-reliefs in the Angkor area.
