At its height, the Khmer empire stretched from Angkor in Cambodia as far west as Muang Singh on the border of present-day Burma & Thailand & as far north as Wat Phu on the banks of the Mekong river. Hundreds of temples & thousands of shrines marked the territory of this powerful kingdom. Following on from the great success of ” Angkor
- Cities & Temples”, the renowned scholar & epigraphist, Claude Jacques, explores the achievements & developments of the Khmer people from the 5th to the 13th century. Beginning with the early pre-Angkorean site of Funan & ending with the reign of the great Khmer king, Jayavarman VII, the author journeys beyond the well-known sites around Angkor Wat, to reveal the marvels of many temples hitherto inaccessible to visitors. Thus the reader is taken on a virtual tour of exquisite Khmer architecture
- from Preah Vihear perched on a steep cliff overlooking the Cambodian plain, to the mysterious & extensive site of Preah Khan of Kompong Svay & the elaborately carved temple-in-the-forest of Beng Mealea, to mention but a few. Based on a lifetime of study & research, the author speculates as to the origins & reasons behind each site & how the Khmer empire functioned over many hundreds of years. Superbly photographed by Philippe Lafond, the book

Includes::
site plans, old photographs, aerial shots of the ancient cities & detailed photographs showing the reliefs & other magnificent carvings. Never before has the richness & diversity of the Khmer empire been captured so evocatively & comprehensively.
