Хронология Khmer

500 н. э. – 1431 н. э. · 4 памятников

Археология Кхмерской империи — это не только храмы, но и сложнейшая гидротехническая система вокруг них. Лазерное сканирование LiDAR в Ангкор-Вате (2012, 2015) показало, что Большой Ангкор представлял собой единый урбанистический комплекс дорог, насыпей и водохранилищ-бараев, а не просто изолированные святилища в джунглях.

Angkor Thom

1181 н. э. – 1431 н. э.

The last great walled capital of the Khmer Empire, built by King Jayavarman VII at the end of the 12th century CE as the centrepiece of a massive Buddhist building programme following decades of warfare. At its heart stands the Bayon Temple, its 54 towers carved with 216 enormous, serenely smiling stone faces — among the most instantly recognisable images in world archaeology — surrounded by the Terrace of the Elephants, the Terrace of the Leper King, and the royal palace precinct of Phimeanakas.
