The Terrace of Elephants is 350 m long and was used as a giant viewing stand for public ceremonies. Our guide had us try to imagine the pomp and grandeur of the Khmer empire at its height, with infantry, cavalry, horse-drawn chariots and elephants parading across the Central Square.
There were a LOT of holes in the stones which were filled with rainwater. Ayla would say, "Mix." and put her finger in the hole and "mix" the water. It was quite fun to watch.
Leper Kings or Queens?
