APEX AGE: ANTIQUITY
Kamboja, the Khmer Empire, was a model of the Hindu-Buddhist heavens in Southeast Asia. From its center, it projected its influence across the region. True Khmer power lay in water, as harnessing the floods of the Mekong fueled some of the largest cities in the world. But as these floods waned, so did Khmer power, leaving its dream in ruins across modern-day Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam.
