Cambodia :
Seven-headed Naga King at the entrance of World's largest religious monument, Angkor Wat built by Hindu king Suryavarman II
Tumblr media
This is a huge temple complex located near Siem Reap in Cambodia. It was built by Khmer kings more than a thousand years ago. The complex has a large number of temples. The main temple is the only one that is well preserved. Other temples are in ruins. There is an international effort to restore some of the temples. The temples must have looked majestic when they were built.
A large stones were cut precisely and placed over each other without any bonding material to hold them together. The Khmer kings embraced Hinduism and Buddhism. The carvings are delicate and superbly detailed.

Carvings of Apsaras (Sanskrit: अप्सरा) at several of the temples of Angkor Wat.
In Hindu and Buddhist culture, Apsaras are a type of female spirit of the clouds and waters, who later plays the role of a "nymph" or "fairy.” They are described to be beautiful, youthful and elegant, and are said to be able to change their shape at will.
In 1927, Sappho Marchal published a study cataloging the remarkable diversity of their hair, headdresses, garments, stance, jewelry and decorative flowers, which Marchal concluded were based on actual practices of the Angkor period. Some devatas appear with arms around each other and seem to be greeting the viewer. "The devatas seem to epitomize all the elements of a refined elegance," wrote Marchal.

Cosmic Architecture
🏛️🌠 How Ancient Civilizations Built the Stars into Their Structures 🔭🌍
Ever wondered why certain ancient structures seem to align perfectly with celestial events? It's not just coincidence - our ancestors were master sky-watchers who integrated astrology and astronomy into their architecture. Let's explore this fascinating fusion of earth and sky!
🔍 The Zodiac in Stone:
Great Pyramid of Giza 🔺
Aligned with cardinal directions
Air shafts point to important stars in Orion and Draco constellations
Possible connection to Orion's Belt (Osiris in Egyptian mythology)
Angkor Wat, Cambodia 🛕
Layout mimics the constellation Draco
Aligned with solar equinoxes
Possible representation of the Hindu cosmic ocean
Stonehenge, England 🗿
Aligns with summer solstice sunrise
Possible lunar calendar function
Theories suggest connections to eclipses and planetary cycles
Chichen Itza, Mexico 🐍
El Castillo pyramid aligns with Venus cycles
Equinox shadow resembles a serpent (Kukulkan)
Observatory (El Caracol) tracks Venus, equinoxes, and solstices
Newgrange, Ireland 🌄
Winter solstice sunrise illuminates inner chamber
Possible lunar alignments
Spiral carvings might represent celestial movements
🤯 Mind-Blowing Connections:
Sacred Geometry: Many structures use the Golden Ratio (1.618), mirroring patterns found in nature and the cosmos
Astronomical Precision: Some alignments are so accurate they still work thousands of years later!
Global Phenomenon: Cultures worldwide, often with no contact, developed similar astrological architecture
🔮 Astrological Implications:
Taurus ♉ - Earth Sign Connection: Many of these structures emphasize groundedness and permanence, reflecting Taurus energy
Leo ♌ - Solar Alignments: Solstice alignments might relate to Leo's ruling planet, the Sun
Sagittarius ♐ - Quest for Knowledge: The explorer spirit of Sagittarius reflects in the astronomical curiosity of these builders
Capricorn ♑ - Enduring Structures: The longevity and ambition of these projects resonate with Capricorn traits
Aquarius ♒ - Visionary Innovation: The forward-thinking, almost alien-like precision embodies Aquarian energy
🧠 Unique Perspectives:
Time Capsules of Ancient Astrology: These structures preserve astrological knowledge from millennia ago, offering insights into how our ancestors viewed cosmic cycles
Architectural Horoscopes: Could the placement and alignments of these structures be seen as a kind of "architectural horoscope" for entire civilizations?
Energetic Ley Lines: Some theorize these structures were built on Earth's "energy points," amplifying cosmic connections
Modern Astrological Architecture: How might we incorporate these principles into modern buildings for better cosmic harmony?
Personal Cosmic Spaces: Could aligning our living spaces with celestial events enhance our connection to astrological energies?
💭 Food for Thought:
How might our understanding of astrology change if we viewed it through the lens of ancient architecture?
Could there be undiscovered astrological alignments in other ancient (or even modern) structures?
How does knowing about these cosmic connections change your perspective on human history and capability?
Remember, every time you look at these ancient wonders, you're not just seeing stones and mortar - you're witnessing a cosmic map, a celestial clock, and an astrological textbook all rolled into one. Our ancestors left us a legacy written in the stars and etched in stone. What cosmic messages are we leaving for future generations? 🌠🏛️

'Cambodia' a country whose original name was 'Kambuja' named after a great Vedic sage meaning 'the descendants ( ja ) of Kambu' and within the lands of Cambodia we find the world famous 'Angkor Wat' a great map of the Vedic universe which has been written in stone and a temple whose original name was 'Visnuloka'.
