Precision-engineered drainage system at Cambodian lingam temple. Perfect right angle cuts on spout, described as precision beyond chisel capability Naga (serpent) and yali (lion-like prehistoric animal) carved at spout base Two massive stone blocks fused together without mortar for thousands of years
The engineering here is remarkable: precise right angle cuts on the spout demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship. Naga serpents and yali creatures are carved at the spout base with such skill they appear alive. Stone blocks fitted together without mortar have remained stable for thousands of years. A gravity-powered drainage system moves liquid through the temple walls. A false door on the exterior contains a giant spout with a drainage hole - notable Khmer hydraulic engineering.
