Deep in the heart of Cambodia, hidden beneath the jungle for centuries, stands one of the most incredible structures ever built-Angkor Wat. This ancient temple isn't just a pile of old stones; it's a masterpiece of architecture, a sacred place of worship, and a window into the powerful Khmer Empire.
This book takes kids on a journey through time, uncovering the secrets of Angkor Wat and the civilization that built it. How did workers carve its massive stone blocks? What stories do the temple walls tell? Why do people still visit and worship there today? From the rise of the Khmer Empire to the explorers who rediscovered the temple after it was lost to the jungle, every chapter is packed with fascinating facts about one of the world's greatest wonders.
Readers will explore the temple's breathtaking carvings, its mix of Hindu and Buddhist traditions, and the engineering genius that makes it look like it's floating. They'll learn about the animals that call the temple home, the legendary kings who ruled the Khmer Empire, and the modern efforts to protect this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Perfect for young explorers and history lovers, this book makes the past come alive in a fun and engaging way.
