Ankor Wat is preserved by the World Heritage Fund in part as a the thewori place of a living religion. That the Wat (temples) are still active as places to worship is evident in the alcoves where one finds Buddhas "dressed" and incense sticks burning.
Some of you know my little friend D Wayne. He came a long and wanted to see the sites. This is the southern bridge to Ta Prohm where 52 gods adorn one side and 52 demons the other. D Wayne thought it would be better to side with the gods. (Mighty Western of him huh.... since Buddhists believe that both gods and demons are necessary to make a complete life.)
These hallways and hundreds of others at Ankor Wat are adorned with carvings telling the tales of hundreds of myths of ancient Hindu and Buddhist antiquity.

At the Bayon fortress, built hundreds of years after Ankor Wat the faces of multiple religions' gods were built into turrets to beg their protection against the Champa hordes. Interestingly enough, the faces of the gods (seen on the right and left sides of this turret) actually attracted the invaders rather than stopping them.
