16mm color kodak filmed during the trip around indochina [2007]
UNESCO World Heritage Site. The temples of the Angkor area number over one thousand, said to be the world's largest single religious monument.
In 2007, an international team of researchers using satellite photographs and other modern techniques concluded that Angkor had been the largest preindustrial city in the world, with an elaborate system of infrastructure connecting an urban sprawl of at least 1000 square km to the well-known temples at its core. /The closest rival to Angkor, the Mayan city of Tikal in Guatemala, was 100-150 square km in total size/
Although its population remains a topic of research and debate, newly identified agricultural systems in the Angkor area may have supported up to one million people
City of Angkor Thom had one million inhabitants this at the time when in London, live 30,000 people.
The Angkorian period may be said to have begun shortly after 800 AD, when the Khmer King Jayavarman II announced the independence of Kambujadesa (Cambodia) from Java and established his capital of Hariharalaya at the northern end of Tonle Sap
