Looks like an awsome place to see for myself, but I just don't think it will happen any time soon. Great job with the pictures though.

incidentally, you can't actually 'go inside it', it's solid. i couldn't make up my mind about posting these because they ARE rather lame, but i figured just as a start, eh?

Hands placed those blocks in the desert thousands of years ago in a place not widely seen in person or in photographs. I think they are quite appropriate and I am glad they are here.

"it's solid"
I thought so too, and it's quite annoying when you see/visit a huge ruin and find out that it's just solid, with no interior. They are rather boring.
Fortunately Angkor wasn't like that :)

What you're seeing is the restored lower level of the ziggurat. It was done before the Gulf War. In fact, I think there is some shell damage to the mud brick that hasn't been repaired. At least, this is what I'm told in my Near Eastern Archaeology class. If it hadn't been restored, it would look like a mound of rubble and dirt, like many ziggurats in the Near East are right now.

i saw no shell damage. admittedly, i wasn't LOOKING for shell damage - but the US usually has a pretty healthy dose of respect for these sorts of things

Unfortunately they didn't have it during the Vietnam war. Some rather cool historical sites were bombed to the ground in Laos and Vietnam.
Fortunately Cambodia and Angkor wasn't bombed...

We also did have smart weapons then either.
