Angkor Wat

Of course the goal of our project is to do some filming and research around Angkor Wat.  My trip to Russia and Ukraine is a bit of a detour along tlyhe way. Here's some more information for those of you who were expecting more about Angkor. This is from the UNESCO site. I had a few complaints that the links I put up weren't working correctly,  so I'm posting it here.

Angkor
Angkor is one of the most important archaeological sites in South-East Asia. Stretching over some 400 km2, including forested area, Angkor Archaeological Park contains the magnificent remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire, from the 9th to the 15th century. They include the famous Temple of Angkor Wat and, at Angkor Thom, the Bayon Temple with its countless sculptural decorations. UNESCO has set up a wide-ranging programme to safeguard this symbolic site and its surroundings.
