The document summarizes the history of architecture in Cambodia, beginning with the pre-Angkor period when the Funan kingdom was established in the 3rd century. It then discusses the Chenla period in the 5th century before focusing on the iconic Angkor period. It provides details on the renowned Angkor Wat temple complex, describing it as the "mother of all temples" and noting its immense size, with galleries, courtyards, and a central tower surrounded by a large moat. Numerous other Angkor period temples are also mentioned.

8. • The "mother of all temples" - Angkor Wat. No photograph can quite
capture the immensity of this monument (which may be a tomb as
well as a temple.) Some of the apparent grandeur of the complex is
due to clever perspective. The tip of the central tower is only 65
meters high, although its peak is more than 200 meters above the
ground. However, many of the other statistics of the temple are still
quite impressive. The temple is surrounded by a 200 meter wide
moat (that's more than two football fields to you Americans). You
cross the moat on a wide stone causeway to reach the outer wall,
which itself is 5.5 kilometers long. Once you pass through the main
gate in this wall, another causeway 350 meters long, leads to the
inner sanctuary of the temple.
