Temples in Cambodia – level 2

29-11-2017 15:00

Over 1,200 years ago, people built the Kampong Preah temples in a remote area in Cambodia. They are older than Angkor Wat, but people do not know about them. Also, they are in a very bad state.

A group of 30 young Cambodians are trying to raise money to help save the temples and attract tourists. The area is so remote that you can only get there by boat.

A third of the complex is destroyed, but people still use it. They hold religious ceremonies and meet there.

Difficult words: temple (a building where people pray to God), remote (far from a city), religious ceremony (an event which is about God).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
