Before the jungle reclaimed its towers and explorers called it "lost," there was a civilization that transformed water into empire and faith into stone.
From the floodplains of the Mekong to the sacred heart of the Tonle Sap, the Khmer people built a world that mirrored the cosmos — where kings ruled as gods, rivers flowed like living serpents, and every temple rose as a mountain of eternity.

Angkor: Temples of Time traces the rise and resonance of the Khmer Empire, from its ancient roots in Funan and Chenla to the divine geometry of Angkor Wat and the serene faces of the Bayon. Through the voices of stone inscriptions, sacred landscapes, and enduring myths, it reveals how the Khmer shaped the land into a living cosmos — and how that vision continues to echo through Cambodia's forests, rivers, and hearts.

More than a history, this is a journey through time itself — across empires and afterlives, through the silence of ruins and the murmur of monks who still chant among them. The stones of Angkor have not fallen silent; they are still speaking.
Their message endures: all that is sacred flows, and all that flows returns.
