A Brief History of the Ancient Khmer explores the rise and glory of one of Southeast Asia's most magnificent civilizations. Centered in present-day Cambodia, the Khmer Empire flourished between the 9th and 15th centuries and is best known for building Angkor Wat—the largest religious monument in the world. This concise guide traces the empire's powerful rulers, intricate irrigation systems, artistic achievements, and deeply spiritual culture rooted in Hinduism and Buddhism.

From the grandeur of Angkor's temples to the complexity of Khmer urban planning and governance, A Brief History of the Ancient Khmer brings to life a civilization that blended engineering genius with spiritual devotion. Perfect for history lovers, travelers, and curious readers, this book offers an accessible introduction to a culture that left an enduring mark on Southeast Asia and the world.
