Comment

The ruins of the forgotten city of Angkor are located near modern-day Siem Reap, hidden deep in the forests of northern Cambodia. The story starts in the 9th century, when two states in what is now modern day Cambodia were united forming the Khmer Empire. In 1113 a phase of building commenced which included the great temple of Angkor, built over the course of 30 years. Times of conflict followed and as decades passed, the world’s largest pre-industrial city was slowly abandoned and overgrown.
