Its okay, I don't mind answering questions:) The Leper King story was about a king who didn't actually have Leprosy, but a statue of him became covered in mossy black spots and (from a storm or something) was missing one of his arms, so the people started calling him the "Leper King", because it looked like his statue had gotten Leprosy. I'm still not exactly sure what the difference between "Underworld" and "Hell" is in the Buddhist religion, but Bun told us that they weren't the same thing... maybe the Underworld is like Purgatory or something? I never saw any crazy large birds or anything, but I did hear their sounds - in the video, you can hear them - they were really loud and did sound like Pterodactyls! I never saw Tomb Raider actually, so after the trip, Matt and I watched it at home, and it was REALLY neat to see all the places that we had been! And about the feet in the carvings - they didn't "update" them each century, they just left old ones the same and changed the feet in the new ones they were carving at the time, so when you walk around Angkor Wat, you'll see carvings with all different type of feet. <br /><br />And Leanne - the last picture of all 3 of us was taken by our driver that we had for the day (part of the tour package) - Can you believe the whole day private tour for just Matt and I was only $65 - not each, just $65 total!Cortniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10041979220565651538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189894327237221015.post-83249608546922131172011-01-14T19:15:39.114-08:002011-01-14T19:15:39.114-08:00Who was the Leper King, and by Underworld, do you ...Who was the Leper King, and by Underworld, do you mean Hell? During your visit to Ta Prohm, when Bun was explaining the echoes, what sounds were in the background...sounds like large birds(?)or pterodactyls? I don't remember Tomb Raider...I'll have to watch it again. I want to know who was in charge of updating the feet in the carvings every century? Love your writing. Love U.
