b'Deep in the Cambodian Jungle, a ruined city crumbles among the roots of banyan trees. \\n\\nIn this episode, we look at the history of the Khmer Empire of medieval Cambodia, and the ancient mega-city of Angkor. I want to explore how this great civilization rose to a size and wealth virtually unprecedented in the world, how it overcame the challenges of its climate and landscape, and all the factors that led to its final, dramatic collapse.\\n\\nCredits:\\n\\nSound engineering by Thomas Ntinas\\n\\nVoice Actors:\\n\\nRhy Brignell\\nLou Millington\\nSebastian Garbacz\\n\\nMusic by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)\\nSource: incompetech.com/music/royalty-fre\\u2026isrc=USUAN1100209\\nArtist: incompetech.com/'
