Angkor was once the largest city of the medieval world, home to nearly a million people, and at its center stood Angkor Wat, one of the most ambitious architectural projects in human history. In this episode, we explore how Angkor rose under kings like Suryavarman II and Jayavarman VII, how its vast temples, cities, and water systems were built, and what ultimately led to its collapse. From religious fusion and monumental engineering to climate disaster, invasion, and mythmaking, this is the story of how a thriving metropolis became one of the world’s most iconic ruins and a lasting symbol of Cambodia.
We really enjoyed revisiting this series and getting to implement the viewer feedback that Rob had previously only been able to address in Lies. Original Lies video here: https://youtu.be/dDH3TN5xdyY
