The awe-inspiring temple complex of Angkor Wat was the final and most glorious flowering of five centuries of culture in ancient Cambodia, yet it is only the peak of a great civilisation, that of the Khymers, which flourished from the ninth to the thirteenth century. The whole scope of this era, including the fantastic monuments in stone which is produced, is here revealed in lively text and magnificently complemented by 111 full-colour photographs, all taken especially for this volume. The views range from panoramic aerial pictures to close top of architectural detail, including many works in Nmuseums rarely visited
