At the same time,Angkor and the Khmer Empire were increasingly threatened and attacked by invading armies.By the 16th century,the golden age of Angkor was over and many of the great temples began to move back into the jungle.
From the 15th to 19th centuries,Theravada Buddhist monks cared for Angkor Wat,and it is thanks to them that the temple remains mostly intact.Angkor Wat became one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Southeast Asia.Angkor Wat is the best preserved example of Khmer architecture in Cambodia and is so grand in design that some rank it among the seven wonders of the world.It appears on the Cambodian national flag,a very rare instance of a flag with an image of a building.
Notes:
symbolically adv.象征性地 ②frenzied adj.发狂的
