The Phimeanakas is a pyramid-shaped temple in the Royal Palace of Angkor Thoms in Cambodia and thus part of the Angkor World Heritage Site. It was probably built by Suryavarman I in the 11th century. The Phimeanakas is twelve meters high and has a base of 36 by 28 meters. But watch out, the Temple Mount is populated by numerous macaque monkeys who also like to jump on your pants for something to eat.

The Phimeanakas (Khmer: ប្រាសាទភិមានអាកាស) is a pyramid-shaped temple in the royal palace of Angkor Thom in Cambodia and thus part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Angkor. It was probably built in the 11th century by Suryavarman I. The Phimeanakas is twelve meters high and has a base of 36 by 28 meters. The base pyramid is made of laterite stone, the superstructures were built of sandstone.
The Chinese envoy Zhou Daguan reported that the temple (in his time, i.e. in 1296/7) was made of gold, so it is assumed that at least the dome was covered with gold.
