Ta Prohm is one of the heavily damaged ruins. Surprisingly, it was not a war or major distaster that destroyed this temple.
The temple was destroyed by the large trees that grew between the stones.
Silk Cotton trees
Silk cotton trees grew all around the temple and destroyed many of the structures.
Strangler Fig trees
Strangler fig trees have also grown large and destroyed the temple.
Here you'll see how large the trees are compared to one of the tourists walking.
