What is it?

darcyfish — 2014-10-16 09:07:03 UTC

when I got here I saw that The Khmer Empire or the Angkor Empire, now known as Cambodia, was the powerful Khmer Hindu-Buddhist empire in Southeast Asia

In the ninth century the empire rose from nothing. Why it dissolved in the 15^th century is debated. some say it was caused by war but there is no evidence of man-made destruction. others say that it was just deserted because of who know what and now the forest has swallowed the city.

Where and When Was it?

I found out that lasting from 802 CE to 1431 CE. At its peak, the empire covered much of what today is Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, and southern Vietnam.

Around the seventh century Khmer people inhabited territories along the Mekong river -the world’s seventh longest river

Who ruled?

I met a man called Jayavarman II he led a series of successful military campaigns subjugating (meaning overpowering) most of these petty kingdoms.
