The progress of this type of temples with tiered roofs in receding stages can be traced all over Indo-China. The temples at Bayang (7th century A.D.) and Prast Prah Srei (7th century A.D.) in Kambuja with three receding stages furnish early examples. Two centuries later, we have the temple of Bakong (9th century A.D.) in the Angkor region with four or five receding stages.
