The Elephant Terraces, or Terrace of the Elephants, is part of the Angkor Thom temple complex and was used by King Jayavarman VII as a platform to view his victorious returning army about 1,000 years ago. You can also various scenes of carved court figures, elephants, and garudas (bird-like creatures). In the beginning of the video, we see an ancient celestial Hindu temple called Phimeanakas which was built by King Rajeandravarman II and rebuilt by King Suryavarman II.
