What was Angkor actually like to walk through? What really happened to the Khmer Empire, and why is the standard version wrong? Was Angkor ever actually "lost"?
Time Period Covered: 1296 – 1600 CE
In 1296, a Chinese diplomat named Zhou Daguan stepped off a boat at Angkor, stayed eleven months, and wrote down what he saw — the palace, the markets, the food, the gossip. His account is the only surviving eyewitness description of the city at its height. A century and a half later the capital moved south, and Europeans would eventually decide the city had been 'lost'. It hadn't, and what actually happened took the better part of a century of new science to work out.
