Khmer:Lost Empire of Cambodia by Thierry Zephir
The Khmer Empire of Cambodia which flourished from the 9th to the 15th century, gave birth to some of the world's richest works of art and architecture. At its peak in the 12th century, during the reigns of Suryavarman II and the Buddhist King Jayavarman VII, Kmer civilization extended throughout continental Southeast Asia and culminated in the construction of the magnificent temple of Angkor Wat, the city of Angkor Thom and the temple of the Bayon. This is an account of that empire, which gave birth to some of the world's richest works of art and architecture.
Thierry Zephir is head of research at the National Museum of Asian Arts, the Musee Guimet, in Paris, and also a professor at the Ecole du Louvre, where he teaches courses on India and the countries of the Indianised world. Since 1991 he has regularly taught students in the Faculty of Archaeology in Phnom Penh. He is the author of various books and scholarly articles, including Khmer: Lost Empire of Cambodia. In 1997 he curated the international exhibition: Sculpture of Angkor and Ancient Cambodia Millennium of Glory.
