Khmer Empire
Khmer Empire appears on the map from 800 to 1431. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1206, it covered about 953,197 km².
In 802 Jayavarman II declared himself universal monarch in a ceremony on the Kulen hills, freeing the Khmer lands from Javanese overlordship and founding the Angkorian empire in what is now Cambodia. His successors built the city of Angkor near the Tonle Sap lake, supported by a vast system of reservoirs and canals that watered rice fields for perhaps 700,000 people. Khmer kings presented themselves as god-kings linked to Shiva or Vishnu, and later to the Buddha. More about Khmer Empire.
