The People of Cambodia




ANGKOR WAT CAMBODIA



ANGKOR WAT "the city that became a pagoda,"
the capital of the Khmer Empire for over 500 years, 800-1300AD.
A million people lived here then,
one of the great and remarkable civilizations of Asia.

In the midst of the jungle, ruins of temples rise out of the mist,
over 60 square miles, large deep moats, still with water, long narrow
causeways into these temple compounds, where Hinduism and Buddhism coexist, in earthly and otherworldly harmony.
