Abstract:

Angkor Wat’s magnificent temples and vast reservoirs comprise the single largest religious complex ever built, an ancient wonder rising out of the Cambodian jungle. Archaeologists have estimated that as many as a million people might have lived there. How did they sustain a population that large? This program shows how archaeologists such as Dr. Elizabeth Moore of the University of London teamed up with NASA to use imaging radar from space to solve the mysteries of this thousand-year-old city.
