The Ancient Khmer's Dimensional Planning at the Prasat Thom in Koh Ker

Research at the Prasat Thom temple in Koh Ker reveals intricate dimensional planning and expansion phases of the ancient Khmer structure. The study deciphers the original plan and subsequent modifications, excluding the pyramid-temple (Prang), by analyzing measured dimensions and comparing them with previous findings from Prasat Pram. This approach allows for the reconstruction of the temple's evolution, highlighting its complex design and multiple expansion stages. The findings contribute to understanding the sophisticated architectural strategies employed by ancient Khmer civilizations.
