Kbal Spean (Bridge Head) is an Angkorian era archaeological sight on the southwest slopes of the Kulen Hills northeast of Siem Reap in Cambodia. It is commonly known as the Valley of a 1000 Lingas or The River of a Thousand Lingas. The area consists of a series of stone carvings in sandstone formations carved in the river bed and banks. The motifs for stone carvings are mainly myriads of lingams (phallic symbol of Hindu god Shiva), depicted as neatly arranged bumps that cover the surface of a sandstone bed rock, and lingam-yoni designs. There are also various Hindu mythological motifs, including depictions of the gods (among them are Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma, Lakshmi and more), as well as animals like cows and frogs.
