Angkor Wat

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : The most recognizable site in Cambodia is the ancient temple complex of Angkor Wat, in the Siem Riep province. Built in the early 12th century, the world’s largest religious monument was originally a Hindu temple before becoming tied to to the Buddhist religion 100 years later. Top content creator and pilot Fabio Knoll used a drone to create a visual masterpiece of this ancient temple, once the seat of the Khmer Empire which ruled much of Southeast Asia from the 9th to the 15th centuries AD.

At sunrise, Angkor Wat reveals itself as a vast stone mandala — a sacred geometry rising from the Cambodian forest. From above, the temples unfold like a celestial blueprint: towers aligned with the sun, corridors carved with ancient myths, and moats reflecting a civilization that once shaped an entire empire. This aerial journey captures Angkor not only as an archaeological wonder, but as a meditation on time, devotion, and the astonishing harmony between nature and architecture. Seen from the sky, the temple becomes what it has always been: a bridge between the human and the divine.
