Angkor Thom was the planned capital of Jayavarman VII, at the center of which was the state temple of Bayon. The walls of the city are 1.86 miles on each side, and enclose an area of 2225 acres, bordered by a 328 feet wide moat. Temples within the city contain steles with inscriptions likening Angkor Thom to Indra’s capital, the cosmic mountain and home of the thirty-three gods. The causeways crossing the moats at each of Angkor Thom’s five gates are lined with 54 gods on one side and 54 demons on the other side bearing a naga’s body, symbolizing the myth of the Churning of the Sea of Milk.

The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
