The Twelve Zodiac Tower is opposite the battle elephant steps. It is said that it was originally a place where prisoners were detained. It is also said that it is a place where high-ranking officials perform tightrope walking for the battle elephant stage. Now it has been seriously weathered. The sun in Angkor Wat is very poisonous. Animals (elephants) here are as hot and thirsty as human beings. Tourists are advised not to mistreat animals. The day I went was so hot that I couldn't walk farther if the sky was blue.
