Angkor, Angkor, Angkor and more Angkor!!!,
By Kean Chhay Chang (Vic, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Along The Royal Roads To Angkor (Paperback)
I must say there are so many wonderful books published on Angkor and this is another one that I have read so far. Containg excellent photographs of Angkor as well as aspects of Khmer culture and the Khmer people of today. I really enjoyed this book because it contained iformation regarding the history, the layout of Angkor and it's temple that was constructed from 9th-13th century A.D. Angkor was a wonderful civilization of Southeast Asian like that of Aztecs and Mayans in Mesoamerica before the any contains with the first European. The civilization of Angkor flowered and blossom for centuries until it reached it's peak during the 12 century with it's greatest achievement of building Angkor Wat. Then the Khmer civilization declined and slowly was reclaimed by the forest where it remained until the 19th century only to be discovered again like many other civilizations. Great book to have and so much work and effort has gone into making this book that I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to understand a little bit more about Angkor and it's temples. |
