Angkor takes readers to the interior of Cambodia, where the Khmer Empire had its capital between the ninth and fifteenth centuries. Today Angkor is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world, renowned for its monumental Hindu and Buddhist temples.Published to accompany the exhibition of the same name, this book presents the latest insights into this extraordinary place. How do we know what we know about Angkor? What role have colonial perspectives played in shaping our view of the past, and how are new technologies such as LiDAR changing our understanding of the city and its inhabitants? Contributions by French and Cambodian scholars, among others, answer these questions in an accessible, academically grounded way. The book shows that Angkor was much more than a collection of temples: it was an extensive and complex urban landscape where much remains to be discovered.Contributions by Sophie Biard, Irini Biezeveld, Dominic Goodall, Masako Marui, Heng Piphal, Christophe Pottier, Huot Samnang, Chea Socheat, Nhim Sotheavin, Dominique Soutif, Vladyslav Sydorov, Adam Wijker.
