Angkor-The Lost Empire of Cambodia

 





When I was at the California Science Museum in Los Angeles, I was able to see the exhibit- Angkor-The Lost Empire of Cambodia. Angkor was the capital of the Khmer Kingdom which lasted from 9th to the 15th century. By the late 16th century, it was no more and experts have been trying to figure out what happened. It was really cool to see artifacts from it:











It was really cool to see this and learn about Angkor.

  3. What a great exhibit. Angkor has a fascinating history - I also can't help but notice the combined influences from the north and west (e.g., India, China, Nepal, etc.).

  8. Siem Reap was one of my favourite places in the world - the town as much as Angkor Wat.

  10. It's amazing to think about the artists who sculpted these statues so many, many years ago. Looks like a wonderful museum exhibit.
