* An archaeological complex of 200 temples spread over 400 km2 in the centre of Cambodia, capital of the Khmer Empire from the 9th to the 14th century.
Here are the places where palaces once stood, here are the places where prodigiously sumptuous kings lived, about whom nothing is known any more, who have passed into oblivion without leaving even a name engraved on a stone or in a memory; these are human constructions, these high rocks which are now one with the forest and which thousands of roots envelop and embrace like octopuses.
