A Restoration Success Story at Angkor Wat

built
The temple of Angkor Wat in Cambodia was build in the 12th century by a Khmer king.
It was the state temple and also the place where the king was buried. Many parts of the

temple are damaged. Water and time have done much of the damage. But also, the temple
constructed in a way that has not lasted. Recently, restoration work on one important

part of the temple was complete by a team of specialists. Restoration is when a damaged
building brought back to a good condition.

For this restoration, special techniques were required, and the Cambodian team was
well trained for the job. Gradually, over a five-year period, important parts of the temple

cleaned and dangerous cracks were filled. The project was a big success, and the team
plans to continue its work on other buildings at the site. Hopefully, all of Angkor Wat will

restore in an equally successful way.
