Beng Melea

The jungle temple of Beng Mealea ( Cambodia) is one of the remote and unrestored Khmer temples. Beng Mealea was built in the early 12th century by the same king who founded Angkor Wat. The two temples, in fact, were constructed in identical design. Beng Melea was built earlier and smaller in scale. Other than these few facts, the history of Beng Melea is unknown as there were no inscriptions found on site.
