World’s Greatest Attractions
Hi I’m Naomi and I’m very excited to show you the World’s Greatest Attractions.
Within the ruins of Angkor Wat is an organism that has taken over entire buildings.
Though it sounds like a science fiction movie, it is in fact true. This ancient part of
Cambodian temple is completely overgrown by giant banyan or strangler fig trees.
Though other nearby temples have been cleared of the trees, archaeologists have left
these temples as an example. The fig trees' roots have grown around, over, under, and
through this temple. At places, the roots are so rampant that they are the only thing
holding the building up. In this way, it has become a singular combination of nature and
artifice. Though the banyans may ultimately destroy the temple, they currently make it a
wonderful place.
Thank you for watching our travel video series. See you next time.
