    The Angkor Kingdom was established in the first half of the 12th century as a Hindu temple called Angkor Wat, which was originally dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu but later became a Buddhist temple. Angkor Wat, which is featured on the Cambodian flag and means "city of temples" in Khmer, was an important kingdom due to its large religious monument status as the largest in the world at over 400 acres and its symbolic representation of Mount Meru for both Hindu and Buddhist religions in Cambodia with five tons of sand used in its construction.
