Die Khmer
Geschichte und Schätze einer alten Zivilisation
Description:... Colossal and magnificent temples, huge Buddha statues and impressive reliefs: The Khmer Empire reveals himself as completely unique. From the 9th to the 15th century the Khmer ruled over large parts of the present states of Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. They developed their own religious and political beliefs and brought forth extraordinary art and monuments, as for example the world-famous Angkor Wat. Stefano Vecchia describes the origin and development of one of the most magnificent and persistent civilizations of the Asian continent. With numerous illustrations of excellent quality, he takes the reader on a journey through six Centuries of Khmer culture.
