Résumé (en anglais)

Khmer sites often incorporate natural features into their design. In some cases these natural features were probably more important elements of the sacred landscape than the temples themselves. A good example of this is the monument at Wat Phou in Laos, where the sacred linga mountain and accompanying representation of the yoni (the Mekong river) have been recognised as an integral part of that area’s heritage.
