À propos de ce contenu audio

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the hydraulic engineering that sustained the Khmer Empire. Long before Angkor Wat rose, the Khmer were reshaping their landscape with massive reservoirs called baray, intricate canals, and a sprawling water management system that allowed them to feed a city of nearly a million people. Lucas explains how the West Baray alone held 40 million cubic meters of water, how the Siem Reap River was diverted to supply Angkor Thom, and why this complex network may have contributed to the empire's decline. They also discuss the role of the devaraja cult in legitimizing these projects, the labor force that built them, and how satellite imagery has revealed the full extent of Khmer hydrology. It's a deep dive into the hidden infrastructure that made Angkor possible.
