West Baray
UndergroundAsia
Massive Angkor-era reservoir, approximately 8 km × 2.1 km, the largest hydraulic structure of the ancient world. Built in the 11th century under Suryavarman I. Still partially water-filled. Contains the West Mebon temple on a central island.
Look Closer — this site carries open questions: stones heavier than the period's tools could lift; geometry beyond period explanation.
