Ta Prohm & x28;Khmer pronunciation: prasat taprohm& x29; is the modern name of the temple at Angkor, Siem Reap Province, Cambodia, built in the Bayon style largely in the late 12th and early 13th centuries and originally called Rajavihara . it was founded by the Khmer King Jayavarman VII as a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Ta Prohm is in much the same condition in which it was found: the photogenic and atmospheric combination of trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings have made it one of Angkor& x27;s most popular temples with visitors. UNESCO inscribed Ta Prohm on the World Heritage List in 1992 The trees growing out of the ruins are perhaps the most distinctive feature of Ta Prohm, and & x22;have prompted more writers to descriptive excess than any other feature of Angkor.& x22; The temple of Ta Prohm was used as a location in the film Tomb Raider. Although the film took visual liberties with other Angkorian temples, its scenes of Ta Prohm were quite faithful to the temple& x27;s actual appearance, and made use of its eerie qualities. Some believe that one of the carvings resembles a stegosaurus,[14] however the carving does not represent a living stegosaur but instead either a rhinoceros or a boar and the supposed plates are believed to be a leafy background.[15] An edited photo of the temple was used in the booklet for Creed& x27;s third album Weathered. In botany, the trunk & x28;or bole& x29; is the stem and main wooden axis of a tree, which is an important feature in tree identification, and which often differs markedly from the bottom of the trunk to the top, depending on the species. The trunk is the most important part of the tree for timber production.
