Description: When you're on vacation, there are few justifiable reasons for getting up at 5:30am. The ruins of Angkor, all that's left behind of the greatest empire Southeast Asia has ever known, are one such reason. The most famous temple is Angkor Wat, built in the 12th century. The period was marked by imaginative building projects, the construction of inspirational temples and palaces, the creation of complex irrigation systems and the development of magnificent walled cities. However, as Angkor was continually a target for attack from neighbouring Siam (present day Thailand), they were eventually sacked in the 15th century, and Angkor was abandoned to the jungle.
