Episode description
We cover the temple-addicted, hydraulic super power known as the Khmer Empire. How did they tame the monsoon to become the greatest power in Southeast Asia?
Not only does Angkor Watt remain a wonder if the world, but its suburbs stretched for miles and miles - making it the largest city in pre-industrial history. How did they achieve such power and organisation - and where did it go wrong?
