Crocodile Stone - Wat Phu Champasak (Laos)
Experts think this carved stone was used for human sacrifices more than 1000 years ago.
I tried to convince Sabine, a german virgin, to get naked and be sacrificed on the stone, but unfortunately she was too shy to take her clothes off. It would have been a much better photo!
Some people may consider that it is sacrilege to do such photo on this very sacred stone. My virgin friend was thinking that, but i finally managed to get her on the rock, and she did not get struck by a lightning and gods did not do anything bad to her, so if there are still any gods left, i think they were not mad at us :)
Wat Phu Champasak is an amazing Khmer Hindu temple complex ruin in southern Laos, near Pakse. For more information about this place, check the Wat Phu Champasak set page.
