| Abstract: |
At its height, the Angkor empire in Cambodia ruled over a vast area and a great number of subjects
numerous temples at statues were built on rich, fertile soil at a prolific rate. Geologist Heng Thung, who has been devoting a large part of his life to the study of the area, has attributed massive deforestation, geological and hydrological factors to the causes of the kingdoms decline. The following is an elaboration of the premises made in his previous article, Did earth move to fell Angkor? (SPAFA Journal Vol. 9 No. 1, 1999).
