Angkor / 吴哥

Angkor / 吴哥 is the monumental site through which EP267 踏访湄公河：雨季、婚飞蚁与水利帝国 explains the [[KhmerEmpire|吴哥王朝]]. [[XingHaiyang|邢海洋]] presents his first visit to Angkor as a turning point: the temples, sculptures, abandoned-stone atmosphere, and later forest overgrowth make the scale of mainland Southeast Asian civilization visible.

The source treats Angkor as a combined religious, political, and hydraulic city. Its temples express kingly sacrality, but Angkor Hydraulic Empire / 吴哥水利帝国 explains how water storage, dry-season irrigation, rice production, and [[TonleSapLake|洞里萨湖]] resources could support dense population and imperial building over centuries.
