How Angkor Wat Was Built: Engineering Marvels of the Khmer Empire

Angkor Wat, the iconic temple complex in Cambodia, stands as a testament to the advanced hydraulic engineering and architectural brilliance of the Khmer Empire. Constructed in the 12th century under King Suryavarman II, this magnificent structure was designed to represent Mount Meru, the mythological center of the universe in Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Built using sandstone blocks transported via a sophisticated network of canals and waterways, the construction of Angkor Wat showcases a blend of spiritual symbolism, unique bas-relief carvings, and intricate details that tell stories from Hindu mythology. Modern technologies like LiDAR and laser scanning continue to reveal hidden structures and offer insights into the urban planning and irrigation systems that supported this ancient city, proving it was one of the largest pre-industrial settlements. Explore the secrets behind how this UNESCO World Heritage site was built, and why it remains a source of national pride for Cambodians today.
