The Khmer Empire - Fall of the God Kings
This documentary explores the Khmer Empire of medieval Cambodia and the vast temple city of Angkor, now half-swallowed by jungle and the roots of banyan trees. It asks how this civilisation of god-kings rose to such heights and what combination of water, politics, and pressure brought it down. Moving among the ruins, it reads the stones for clues to a lost world. Atmospheric and thoughtful, it makes a distant empire feel newly alive. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
