#2 The Rise and Fall of the Khmer Empire - Part One

In the first part of our journey into the history of Cambodia, Lachlan explains the earliest periods of Khmer civilisation - before Angkor Wat, before the great monarchs of the 12th Century. To truly understand the Khmer Rouge revolution, the Killing Fields and the 'Cambodian Genocide', the story must encompass the highs and lows of the Khmer Empire that would prove so influential to the architects of Democratic Kampuchea. In this episode Lachlan explains the significance of rain, the land and farming to the history of Cambodia as well as the formation of what would become the largest city in the pre-industrial world, Angkor.
