Hard to believe how cramped this must have been
This place is full of every kind of civil and military flying machine, old and new, as well as impressive displays on Space, the final frontier.
The old and the new in stark contrast, although the dishes suggest a telecom system further advanced than it actually is
just because you are novice visiting the temples at Angkor Wat doesn't mean that you don't mean that you don't stay in contact with friends

Five traditional gigantic Budgirs (windcatchers) versus two tiny coolair systems! As you would see in my image, there are 4 traditional gigantic Budgirs are erected by genius Persian engineers hundreds years ago. Then if you look closely you would see 2 tiny modern coolair systems on that roof. Unfortunately most of Iranian people who live in hot-arid climate use new modern technology coolair systems instead of using the old traditional Budgirs! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windcatcher The sad story is that majority of Iranian people refuse to use this beautiful traditional Budgir, and then few smart a*** people like Mr William Stranks invent a modern system based on Budgir and name it as "Monodraught"! http://www.monodraught.com/windcatcher/about.php I guess people do NOT appreciate what their ancestors made for them and follow the modern complex technology instead!!
