[SIEM REAP] Let's Put a Smile on that Face

When those Khmer emperors from centuries ago had their temples constructed, they probably did not have any idea that a tourist infestation would occur later on. And so, as much as you would like to think that Jayavarman (Jayavarboy, Jayavargirl, I am not really good with names) had those awesome Mahabharata depiction carved here or those topless Apsara dancers there especially for you, well, time to wake up dude. The world does not revolve around you, but it does around THEM. Call them narcissistic but that is how it worked back in the good old days. Lest you forget, those rulers were also politicians, and although one could only guess if what they really wanted was a premature election campaign infomercial, like that of Empress Cynthia Villar, for example, their technology back then could not really afford such innovation. Hence, they turned to architecture.
