Talk:Angkor Wat

Construction start date inconsistency: 1113 vs 1122 CE

The article gives two different dates for when construction of Angkor Wat commenced. The opening paragraph states it "was constructed between 1113 and 1150 CE," implying construction began in 1113. However, the "History" section states more specifically: "The construction of the temple commenced in 1122 CE and was completed in 1150 CE." The 9-year difference between 1113 and 1122 is not explained or attributed to scholarly disagreement anywhere in the article. Could an editor clarify whether 1113 refers to the start of Suryavarman II's reign rather than the start of construction, and correct the opening paragraph accordingly?
