One hundred and fifty years ago the representatives of imperial France were astonished to find half-buried within the jungle the still magnificent ruins of vast temples. Justly described as one of the wonders of the world, these were the remnants of the once great Angkor empire. Since then archaeologists and historians have attempted to piece together its history. This book presents the result of these endeavours in the first account of the history of Khmer civilization to be published for many years.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  Ian Mabbett is currently in the History Department at Monash University, teaching courses covering traditional Asian cultures and religions.
