The Core Mystery Brief

The largest religious complex in the world — a vast Khmer city centred on the temple-mountain of Angkor Wat.

What We Know

Angkor Wat was built by Suryavarman II and covers an area larger than central Paris. The wider Angkor complex relied on a massive hydraulic network.

What Is Debated

The role of climate change and hydraulic failure in the city's decline is actively researched.

The Mystery

Did the failure of Angkor's water network cause the collapse of the Khmer Empire?
