Скачать или смотреть The Lost City of Angkor | When Nature Destroyed an Empire

Once the heart of the powerful Khmer Empire, Angkor was one of the largest and most advanced cities of the pre-industrial world. Built deep within the jungles of Southeast Asia, this vast urban center thrived for centuries through remarkable engineering, sacred architecture, and absolute control of water. At its peak, Angkor supported a massive population and ruled much of the region through power, belief, and innovation.

But empires are fragile. As wars intensified, trade routes shifted, and climate instability strained Angkor’s complex water system, the foundations of the city began to collapse. Gradually abandoned, its temples and streets were swallowed by the jungle, hidden from the world for centuries.

This documentary explores how one of history’s greatest civilizations rose to unimaginable heights—and how nature slowly reclaimed it. Angkor stands today as a silent reminder that even the most powerful empires can fall when balance between humanity and nature is lost.
