The image that came to my mind was a pile of toy blocks that a giant child has been playing with. Borobudur is made from a porous volcanic stone while Beng Mealea is made from a fairly hard sandstone and some laterite. However, both temples are similar in that each rough stone was cut to fit the already laid ones and thus every one is a different size and shape. As a consequence the walls are not as strong as if all the stones were the same size and laid alternately.
