In the depths of the Cambodian forest lies the ruin of Angkor. It was once the center of a powerful civilization from the 9th to the 14th century. This is the story of the rehabilitation of this archaeological treasure, throughout the chaotic modern history of Cambodia. It all started in the 19th century when Cambodia became a French protectorate. Ever since, numerous French archaeologists have devoted their lives to the reconstruction of Angkor, while trying to unveil the secrets of the Khmer culture. This scientific work of passion was accomplished against a backdrop of turmoil and war the Cambodian people had to face.
