Angkor Wat and the
Angkor Archaeological District
by P. Bion Griffin, PhD
The Angkor image set focuses on Angkor Wat,
the largest temple in the world, and on temples now maintained by Cambodian
authorities for visitors. The Angkorian Capital Region might be another way to
characterize the selection, since Angkor was the capital of the entire empire
during the Classic Period, that time of greatest achievements of the Khmer
people in terms of territory controlled, sophistication of the subsistence
system, monumental architecture, and the visual arts.
The civilization at Angkor is traditionally dated from AD 802 until AD 1432.
