Among the many visages, Krishnas and mythical beings sculpted abundantly throughout Angkor temples, I found these curious specimens at Ta Prom. Should anyone have an answer for how what seems very clearly to be a stegasaurus dinosaur arrived at these 12th century temples? Did they roam Cambodia at that time? Or what other equally outrageous explanation can there be? Email me if you have the answer.

Here up close is what appears to me to be a Stegosaurus at Ta Prom. I saw no other similar carvings of this dinosaur, but certainly cannot claim to have canvassed the whole area. In any case, part of the charm of Angkor is that it's not limited to the huge scope of the undertaking and the feeling one gets from the large, majestic structures, but also in frequent small detail. Wandering about looking closely, you can uncover little tidbits like this that not only speak to the detail of this splendid architecture, but also which conjure more mystical perspectives.
