The LOST Megacity I Angkor Wat Wasn’t Just a Temple I Hidden Beneath the Jungles of Cambodia

Описание: Most people see Angkor Wat as a stunning ancient temple.

But Angkor Wat was never meant to stand alone.

It was the ceremonial heart of one of the largest pre-industrial cities on Earth — a vast megacity hidden beneath the jungles of Cambodia, only recently revealed through modern laser scanning technology.

Built in the 12th century by the Khmer Empire, Angkor Wat was designed as a cosmic blueprint, modeling the Hindu universe in stone. Its towers represent sacred Mount Meru, its vast moat symbolizes the cosmic ocean, and its precise alignments suggest astronomical knowledge far ahead of its time.

In this video, we explore:

Why Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world

How it functioned as both a state temple and political symbol

The discovery of a lost megacity hidden under jungle

The advanced water and urban systems that sustained hundreds of thousands of people

And why Angkor collapsed — while Angkor Wat survived

This is not just the story of a temple.

It’s the story of human ambition, belief, engineering — and collapse.
