In 2011, the EFEO finished restoring a ruin in this city previously dubbed “the largest 3D jigsaw puzzle in the world.” In 1923, Henri Mouhot’s (“awn-REE moo-OH’s”) writings inspired the novelist André Malraux (10[1])(“mal-ROH”) to loot bas-reliefs from a “Citadel of Women” north of this city, which Bernard-Philippe Groslier (“grohl-YAY”) called a “hydraulic city.” At the center of this city’s walled historic center, or Nôkôr Thom (“naw-kaw TOME”), is a temple known for its stone towers carved with serene, smiling faces. Two temples called (-5[1])mebon were located in large reservoirs called baray (“buh-RYE”) in this city, the home of the Bayon. In this city, five prang towers decorated with bas-relief devatās (“DAY-vuh-tahs”) form a massive sandstone temple complex built by Sūryavarman II.
