Angkor Watt (Part 1) King Suryavarman II came to power

As a young prince, he maneuvered for power, contending he had a legitimate claim to the throne. At the end of his studies, states an inscription, he approved the desire of the royal dignity of his family. He appears to have dealt with a rival claimant from the line of Hashovarman III, which held sway in the south, then to have turned on the elderly and largely ineffectual King Dharanindravarman, his great uncle. Leaving on the field of combat the ocean of his armies, he delivered a terrible battle, states an inscription. Bounding on the head of the elephant of the enemy king, he killed him, as Garuda on the edge of a mountain would kill a serpent.

[khmer108]

Angkor vat is a celestrial map for the home of the gods in the universe at a gigantic scale. If you seen the movie Thor , it a realm or a home in the middle of the universe. As you can see Angkor is built that a fact left behind the myth.

@IHyRaXI The reason Gibson made a doco on the Mayans & Incas is because he is a Devout Catholic and targeted the Mayans as bloodthirsty people (which was not true) deserving of being massacred by the Catholic Spanish invaders. Hence also his rancid anti semetic comments. So no chance of something from Gibson on Angkor!
