| Summary |
Buried in the Cambodian jungle lie the lost remains of the great medieval city of Angkor - once the capital of one of the world's greatest civilisations. Today, only the great stone temples like Angkor Wat survive. But Angkor was once a teeming metropolis, full of life - the biggest city on Earth. Now, a team of archaeologists are using a revolutionary technology called lidar to reveal the true scale and splendour of this abandoned megacity. Deep in the jungle, they have discovered a sophisticated network of roads and canals - the forgotten world of Angkor's greatest ever king. Their groundbreaking new work explains why the world's greatest medieval metropolis was abandoned to the jungle. (Part 2 of 2) (From the UK) (Documentary) G CC |
