Summary:
Thanks to modern technology, Southeast Asias Khmer Empire is rising from forest floors for the first time in centuries. New findings show the remarkable extent to which Khmer people built cities and transformed landscapes from at least the fifth to the 15th century, and perhaps for several hundred years after that, says archaeologist Damian Evans of Cambodias Siem Reap Center. Laser mapping in 2015 of about 1,910 square kilo-meters of largely forested land in northern Cambodia indicates that gridded city streets and extensive canals emerged surprisingly early, by around the year 500.
"Lasers Map Hidden Cities in Cambodia" is from the July 23, 2016 issue of Science News.
