January. 03, 2024. Documentary, Human Empires, Civilization, The God Kings, The 'Khmer Empire, Fall of Civilizations,

Deep in the Cambodian Jungle, a ruined city crumbles among the roots of banyan trees.

In this episode, we look at the Khmer Empire of medieval Cambodia, and the ancient mega-city of Angkor. I want to explore how this great civilization rose to a size and wealth virtually unprecedented in the world, how it overcame the challenges of its climate and landscape, and all the factors that led to its final, dramatic collapse.

we have been engrossed in your podcast Fall of Civilizations. The abundance of unknown historical information we have just discovered is mind-blowing. The wealth of knowledge, the breadth of your research, your impeccable delivery in both audio and visual, and your spellbinding narration are award winning. Thank-you for your tireless dedication to history; the accuracy and your enlightening insights coupled with the way in which you engage with the viewer. This series is brilliant. In every episode thus far, I have been able to imagine myself living within that civilization...the precariousness that must have been felt is overwhelming. WELL DONE!!! SUBSCRIBED!!
