How tall could temples be?
Temples have been built to a variety of heights, depending on the culture and architectural style. In general, temples tend to be taller in Eastern cultures, where they often serve as monuments to religious figures or deities. For example, the Temple of Borobudur in Indonesia rises to a height of over 100 metres (328 feet), while the Angkor Wat temple complex in Cambodia reaches a height of nearly 70 metres (230 feet). In contrast, Western temples are typically shorter, reflecting their more modest role as places of worship and community gathering. For example, the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris stands at just over 69 metres (226 feet) tall, while St. Paul's Cathedral in London reaches a height of around 111 metres (365 feet).
