Koh Ker Pyramid Temple

Koh Ker is a significant archaeological site in northern Cambodia, notable for its seven-tiered pyramid temple, Prasat Thom. Serving as the Khmer Empire’s capital from 928 to 944 AD under King Jayavarman IV, the city was a hub of architectural innovation. The Prasat Thom pyramid, standing at 36 meters, is distinguished by its linear design, diverging from the concentric layouts typical of Khmer temples. The seventh tier of the pyramid likely supported a massive Shiva linga, emphasizing its religious importance .​
