Encyclopedia > East Mebon

The East Mebon is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia, located in the centre of the East Baray. The temple was dedicated in 953, approximately 50 years after construction of the baray. The baray has since dried up, giving the temple an impression of greater height which has led some to confuse it with the temple mountains which were the kingdom's state temples. The temple consists of three tiers and is in the Pre Rup style. Angkor was the site of a series of capital cities of the Khmer empire for much of the period from the 9th century to the 15th century CE. Their ruins (13°24N, 103°51E) are located amid forests and farmland to the north of the Great Lake (Tonle...

Mebon, Siem Riep, Cambodia - www.saigonhotel.info (703 words)
The lovely temple of Mebon, a pyramid of receding terraces on which are placed many detached edifices, the most effective being the five towers which crown the top Could any conception be lovelier, a vast expanse of sky-tinted water as wetting for a perfectly ordered temple.
The East Mebon is 500metre (1,640feet) north of Pre Rup.
The Mebon stands on a small island in the middle of the Eastern Baray, which was a large body of water (2 by 7 kilometres, 1.2by4.3miles) fed by the Siem Reap River.
Eastern Mebon and Eastern Baray - Cambodia (1370 words)
The Mebon has all the characteristics of a "temple-mountain" symbolising the Meru - but where there should have been the tiered pyramid inside two concentric enclosing walls, here there is instead a simple three metre high platform carrying the quincunx of towers.
The Mebon belongs therefore to the series of temples consecrated to the memory of deified parents, - and a very fine statue of a feminine divinity found during the course of clearing and returned to the sculpture storeroom would seem to be the Parvati of the inscription.
To the east are three rectangular buildings in laterite - two to the south of the axis that contained in one a "stone of the nine planets" and the other a "stone of the seven ascetics", and a single one to the north.
