- Angkor Wat, in the heart of Cambodia, has beaten Pompeii in Italy to become the eighth Wonder of the World.
- Eighth Wonder of the World is an unofficial title given to new buildings or projects or designs, among others.
- Built in the 12th century by King Suryavarman II, Angkor Wat was originally dedicated to the Hindu deity Vishnu.
- However, overtime, it was transformed into a Buddhist temple.
- The transition from Hinduism to Buddhism is evident in the intricate carvings that adorn the temple walls, depicting scenes from Hindu and Buddhist mythology.
