Produktbeschreibung

Step into the world before Angkor-a land of shifting kingdoms, sacred mountains, and a people searching for cosmic balance. Jayavarman II and the Rise of Angkor unfolds the dramatic story of how one visionary ruler transformed a fragmented landscape into a unified sacred realm. Through divine kingship, strategic warfare, ritual innovation, and mastery of Cambodia's complex water systems, Jayavarman II reshaped not only his kingdom but the spiritual imagination of Southeast Asia. Drawing from the latest archaeological discoveries, LiDAR mapping of Phnom Kulen, ancient inscriptions, temple foundations, and cutting-edge interpretations of the Devaraja cult, this book reveals how early Khmer genius and environmental engineering laid the groundwork for one of the world's greatest civilizations.

Blending cinematic storytelling with deep historical research, this volume takes readers to the very beginning of the Khmer Empire-before Angkor Wat, before the Bayon, before the monumental cities that would later astonish the globe. It brings to life the people, rituals, landscapes, and ideas that elevated Jayavarman II from regional warlord to the god-king who ignited Cambodia's golden age. Perfect for enthusiasts of ancient history, Southeast Asian archaeology, sacred kingship, and the mysteries of early civilization, this book offers a sweeping, immersive journey into the birth of Angkor-where myth, power, and divine order converged to shape a timeless empire.
