Angkor Wat was not built separately as a temple for the sake of the church. He was an integral part of the city of Angkor, which lasted until the XV-th century, while the inhabitants of the war with Siam did not have to leave their homes. Since then, the city of Angkor, and received the status of "The Lost City." This lasted until the second half of the XIX-th century, when the city is not found lost in the jungle Frenchman Henri Muo. Interestingly, the temple of Angkor Wat is not for believers, but to the god Vishnu and the place where the last gain peace rulers.
