Cultural Landscape of the Angkor

The Cultural Landscape of Angkor is a vast archaeological site in Cambodia that reflects the advanced Khmer Empire between the 9th and 15th centuries. It features impressive temples, grand canals, and intricate water management systems, all built to honor Hindu and later Buddhist beliefs. The area exemplifies how human ingenuity shaped the natural environment to create a religious and political center.
