Summary

The Khmer civilization centered at Angkor was one of the most remarkable to flourish in Southeast Asia. Between the 8th and the 18th centuries, a succession of Buddhist and Hindu kings created maginificent temples in stone, which today are marveled at by thousands of visitors annually. This book is intended for visitors to these spectacular monuments in Cambodia and indeed for anyone who is interested in a succinct account of the history and culture of this once great empire.
