Angkor: Hidden Jungle Empire
Premiere/Sunday, 1 February at 9.20pm
In 1300 CE, Angkor was possibly the biggest city in the world. It had – and still has – the largest religious monument in the world, Angkor Wat. It was the seat of kings, home to an empire for 600 years, an incredible feat of urban engineering in a flood plain and rainforest. Then it was abandoned, left to the jungle and a handful of farmers and monks for hundreds of years. Centuries later, what happened to the city of Angkor is still a mystery.
