Phnom Kulen is a solid mass which culminates with 498 meters, located in the immediate western north of the archeological site of Angkor.Il shelters the sources of the rivers (Khmer Stung) which bathe the site: Puok, Siemreap and Roluos.
It is of its top, site crowned since of old times, that the founder of angkor civilization, Jayavarman II, declared that "the country of Kampuchéa was from now on independent of Java".
As you can see it here, this Buddha which had been carved in the rock is one of most beautiful than it was given to me to see.
Since, this mount, which contains the ruins of many temples, became the crowned sanctuary of Kampuchea par excellence and the source of the cambodian identity.
One of the sites of the greatest interest is the river to the Thousand Linga, discovered in 1968: its course digs a sandstone solid mass in which multiples lingua, low-reliefs and inscriptions were carved.
