<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i>Standing amidst a moat measuring 1300 to 1500 m , covering roughly 5.5km, occupying 80 hectares of land area and 250 hectare compound , is the Great Angkor Wat temple , standing strong with glory since 1113 A.D , the year it was created , under the reign of Survarman II , a Khymer emperor who ruled from 1112-1152. Till today , this human worked out piece of architecture , art and engineering stands out to be a facinating resource for archaelogists and historians . </i></span></b><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Angkor Wat meaning , a city of monastery , which came from sanskrit word Nagara , was built in the city of Angkor , located in modern day Cambodia , once a capital of the Khmer Empire . The city may have inhabited 1 million people and hundreds of temples , which itself places it t be one of the largest cities of the world until the "Industrial Revolution".</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><i>"It orignally served as a Hindu temple"</i></b> , hich dedicated to honour of Vishnu (The Protector) but was later transformed to a buddhist temple in the 16th to 19th century with a few statues added to it . </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>"A Religous Temple built facing the west "</b></span> </span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Normally all religous temples arre built facing the east , while Angkor Wat was bulit facing the west . The reason for the same being that this monument served as a funeral temple .However , we can notice that , most f the monumental temples built in stone at the Angkor period that remained today , those always served as funeral temples either facing east or facing west.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">you
can view only three towers appearing from the main temple sanctuary,
while they designed in total with five towers. The reason for that,
since two more towers are at the back row hidden behind with the two at
the front row. The three towers that we are viewing the one in the
middle is not appearing inrow, it’s actually stands at the back further
about at least 30m from the two on the side.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Two buildings located along the causeway between entrance and main
structure, were<u><i> libraries.</i></u> It must appear in pair. Because when the
people came to worship, they had to pray and learn the theory of the
temple before they inter to the shrines. The function of two libraries
is one the right for using during the full moon time, while another one

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">History
of the king who completed the E-N gallery , King Ang Chan cosidered himself as great king of Cambodian in the middle era for Cambodia
history</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">He saw Angkor Wat temple by an
accident when he came to hunt wild elephants for training them into the
domestic one. He was a king who so skillful with elephant hunter. Since
he saw the temples in Angkor, he decided to stay at Angkor for a while
in order to help for restoration the temple structures.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">During
his stay in Angkor, the king took some restoration works at Angkor Wat
temple, he cleared the forest away from the temple structures,e
installed many Buddha statues at the ancient Hindu temples, especially
he installed hundreds of Buddha statues in Angkor Wat where has known
today as "Thousands Buddha Hall"</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The
gallery of ( N-E ) has its relief which still depicting the Hindu myth.
Despite, this relief carved under the reign of King Ang Chan in the 16th
century.The relief of this panel is the same styleas the relief in the
panel of E-N as well. Because done by King Ang Chan while King
Suryavarman II did not complete the relief in gallery</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The
subject of this myth is <b><u><i>"Victory of Lord Vishnu over Demon King Bana".</i></u></b>
The story starts from the east corner of the panel,he beginning (eastern
corner side) you see a garuda is putting off the fire, because he had
got this order from his boss Lord Vishnu.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Then
you see <b><u><i>Agni God of Fire riding on a rhino</i></u></b> that is manifesting to
create fire in order to stop Lord Vishnu and his army from being chased
Bana king of demon and his men. Agni was doing this action because Lord
Shiva ordered him to do. Since Lord Shiva promised to protect Bana and
his men from Lord Vishnu.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Finally, Garuda was
able to convince Agni. That is why we see Lord Vishnu riding on Garuda
who appearing with many arms in an action of chasing Bana and his men.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">At
the middle part of the panel, we see Bana king of demon is confronting
with Lord Vishnu. Bana who is appearing on a chariot which pulling by
tigers</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The end (to the west
corner ) of the scene, we see Lord Shiva who has a long beard and who is
sitting in his palace in Kalasa with his two sons Kanesa and Skanda and
also Agni who carrying an axe in his hand. The war end and <b><i><u>Lord Vishnu
moved to relax "Cosmic Sleep" </u></i></b> on a Naga in the ocean of milk with his
consort Laksmei doing massage at his legs for him</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">here
are colored on the relief of this panel as well. This color was
painting mostly by the Buddhist monks who living in Angkor Wat as their
monastery. Since the capital city of Angkor abandoned to Phnom Penh
after the Thais sacked</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hall is also located in the
middle point of whole Angkor Wat compound . Buddha statues are in this
hall, had installed in the 15th to the 19th century.An addition, the
word "Wat" was coming behind the word "Angkor" since the time that
Angkor Wat became the Buddhist temple, because "Wat" is meaning the
Buddhist monastery. In Khmer Rouge Regime, about 60% of the Buddha
statues had been removed away, and the rest about 40% in 1985 government
moved to preserve in the national Museum in Phnom Penh. Otherwise,
there were full of five rows of Buddha statues in these halls. That is
why the reason people called this place of Angkor Wat as "One Thousand
Buddha Hall".</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It also has four pools. One of
these pools located in each side between the cruciform gallery
buildings. When you are standing in the middle point of the cruciform
galleries, you will be so surprised to see its perfect lines running up
to four direction of the temple. In addition, this point considered as
the center point of the universe as well.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The
third level structure of Angkor Wat was represented of Heavens, and
where at that time was served as a place for only king, royalty and high
Brahmins use for their ritual ceremony. Not for the common people,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i><u>The
twelve stairways at the third level of Angkor Wat are represented the
twelve year of the animal zodiac</u></i>.To reach up there, you will have the
four pools as the same as the Hall of the Thousand Buddha as well. These
pools are located surrounding the central tower, and had used as the
sane purpose as the pools at the down stair too. At the central tower
used to install a golden statue of Vishnu in an action of riding on
Garuda's shoulders. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Also at the doors of the central tower had closed by Buddhist monks at between the15th to 16th centuries</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> To create the moat around the temple, 1.5
million cubic meters (53 million cubic feet) of sand and silt were moved, a
task that would have required thousands of people working at one time. The
buildings at Angkor Wat posed their own challenges. To support them a tough
material called laterite was used, which in turn was encased with softer
sandstone that was used for carving the reliefs. </span></div>

quarried at the Kulen Hills, about 18 miles (30 km) to the north. <a href="http://www.livescience.com/24440-angkor-wat-canals.html">Recent
research proves</a> that they were transported to the site by a series of
canals. Beneath the central tower was a shaft that leads to a chamber where, in
1934, archaeologists found “two pieces of crystal and two gold leaves far
beneath where the Vishnu statue must have been,” Coe writes, adding that
deposits like these “spiritually ‘energized’ a temple, much as a battery will
provide power to a portable electronic device.”</span></div>

that were the case it would give the temple a funerary meaning.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Da vinci acquired great fame in his entire life for his varied works as a sculptor , draftsman , engineer , painter in the renaissance period .</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">His numerous skills have earned him the title of "Renaissance master"</span><br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">He
was greatly infuenced with science ,his this fascination towards science and
his in-depth study of human anatomy aided him in mastering the realist
art form.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">While Leonardo's contemporaries(other painters) were known to create static figures in their works.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Leonardo always tried to incorporate movement,,break the trend and
highlight expression into his own paintings. All the
personages,portraits, in his works are painted with great accuracy and
outstanding details that it is sometimes said that Da Vinci painted from
the bones outward(out of the blue)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">He lived till the age of 67 only but had a lopng lasting impression impression on everyone even today, by his works</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There
are only 20 notebooks and few paintings by DaVinci as records preserved
now over the hundreds of years since Leonardo's time not more than this
could be gathered as His life experiences all influenced his works and
often, his paintings never left the sketchpad, or were only partially
completed, as Leonardo often abandoned his commissions in order to flee
from social situations.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">His most well reknoned works ,famous paintings, and the most popular Da Vinci posters around, are those of</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">A mathematical and Astrological Puzzle Plus a secret Musical Score </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Like mona lisa . the last supper has also been the target of much speculation , usually centered around supposed hidden messages found within the painting .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Slavisa Pesci , an information technologist , created an interesting visual effect by overlaying a semitransparent , mirrored version of the painting on top of the original .The result is that two figures that look like Templar Knights appear at both ends of the table , while someone who is possibly holding an infant to Jesus' left </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">GIovanni Maria Pala , an Italian musician, has also indicated thatthe positions f hands and loaves of bread can be interpreted as a note on a musical staff , and if read from right to left , as was characteristic of Da vinci's writing they form a musical composition.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>

human form after the proportions laid out by Vitruvius, an ancient Roman
architect. The angry-looking man drawn by Da Vinci has reason to smile -
he's now considered one of the most recognizable figures on earth.</span></div>

<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Throughout his entire lifetime , Da vinci developed several painting techniques </span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">From painting on a dry stone wall to using wetplaster on the work surface he was requested to paint(paid basis).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">He typically painted from <i>oil paints prepared by himself from ground pigments </i>, in later part of his career he even worked with <i>Tempera , made from Egg White</i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> The surface which he chose to work at included a<i> canvas , board , or stone , while painting a mural.</i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><i> </i>As he began to paint , he would start by covering the canvas with a pale gray or brown colour , using the neutral colour for underpainting , after which he painted withy a fine layer of transparent glazes within a small range of tones (shades). Typically , the colours he widely used included natural hues </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Da vinci never liked using intense or bold colours or bold colours or tints in contrasting colours . </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> By using such a small range of colours , he was able to give his finished works a more attractive appearance </span></li>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">The Leonardo Da Vinci painting technique used natural hues that were muted in intensity . </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Most often , his works used blues , browns and greens in accordance to the earth itself </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">He also incorporated neutral grays , typically for underpainting .</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Leonardo incorporated glazes using the Da Vinci painting technique of "Sfumato"</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Meaning , "like smoke" smufato basically includes applying dark glazes in place of blunt colours to add a depth and a shade that could not achieved if it was not used . </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Da Vinci also explained for how he created compound colour(mixed shadings) by painting a transparent colour lies over another colour different from it . This technique what he described as a compound colour , that is composed of the colours he used only , but which differs from and is identical each of the simple colours that he widely used .</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">One of his most well-known paintings , The Mona Lisa , displays some of the techniques used by Da Vinci in its grandeur in his passionable work </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">For instance , the use of sfumato(smoke illusion technique) gave the painting an illusion of somberness and mystery , while his choice of colour palette reflects why her lips and eyes are so pale (sadness and smile alterness ) </span></li>

His intellect untoubtedly places him on the hall of fame of human race . I personally , work on human anatomy , and figurs and postures in huamn body language in my pieces of work as a painter , so to me the father to my art is "Da Vinci " who not just introduced but also vividly explained a whole dimension in the field of creative instincts of human brain....
