Ta Prohm is the undisputed capital of the kingdom of the Trees'. It has been left untouched by archaeologists except for the clearing of a path for visitors and structural strengthening to stave of further deterioration. Fig, banyan and kapok trees spread their gigantic roots over stones, probing walls and terraces apart, as their branches and leaves intertwine to form a roof over the structures. Trunks of trees twist amongst stone pillars. You see nature in this dual role of destroyer and consoler; strangling on the one hand, and healing on the other. The complex included 260 statues of gods, 39 towers with pinnacles and 566 groups of residences.
By the way this is one of the location where the movie Tombs Raider was shot.
